Kate writes, “I’ve been creating things all my life. I lost my vision to beads, now I paint those same hands while outdoor printmaking. I’ve been gifted an inquisitive mind. I love to look for things and automatically know how I would use them.”
She loves the art of display and arrangement; disarrangement, collage, disassemblement, etc. ‘Mixed Media’ just barely begins to describe her style. She mostly arranges color and shape, playing with the balance or complete lack thereof.
Kate says she should have been a botanist because she hikes and gathers weeds, flowers, plants, and whole stalks. She is known to pull whole roots out of the ground, plant intact, and shellac it. The nature that surrounds her encourages her to keep going.
