The Artist

Kate is a North Yorkshire-based artist with a deep passion for capturing the awe and wonder of life.

The Inspiration

Kate’s intuitive, instinctive creative process captures the awe, adventure and interconnectedness she feels in nature. She finds inspiration in the landscapes she’s explored since childhood, from the rolling hills of Yorkshire to the poetic beauty of the Lake District. Her work is an extension of these experiences and the positive impact they’ve had on her own well-being. Abstract yet deeply rooted in emotion, movement, and the ever-changing rhythms of life, her work, characterised by vivid colours and organic patterns, invites viewers to reconnect with the wonders of life and their place within it.

The Mission

Kate’s mission is to create meaningful art that acts as a reminder to seek joy, embrace adventure, and reconnect with the magic of life. Her art is designed to inspire you to identify proudly with your own version of awe and wonder—whether in breath-taking moments or the quiet beauty of everyday life

The Philosophy

Kate’s original pieces and giclée prints are crafted with sustainability in mind, reflecting her commitment to eco-friendly practices and fostering a deeper connection to the natural world.

Kate believes that art is more than decoration —it’s a way to reconnect with the world you want to build for yourself. Her paintings serve as visual reminders to slow down, disengage with life’s stresses and worries, and reconnect to your own inner wonder.

Beyond the studio, Kate’s vision is to cultivate a community of Awe Collectors—people who understand the profound impact of nature on our mental well-being, and are dedicated not only to embracing moments of awe and wonder, but also to protecting and preserving the world that inspires them.
