My prices are competitive and postage in the UK is free. I mount all my original pieces and I'll use only the highest quality paper and pencils to ensure artworks will last a lifetime. If you do not have a photo, or would rather offer a gift voucher, these too are available.
My adventurous background has seen me travel the world, live across the globe in Tokyo and attain a First Class degree with Hons in Design from the prestigious Brunel University.
I am now living with my husband and our beautiful children in very rural Somerset, amongst an array of beloved pets, and mild chaos. Renovating our gorgeous cottage drawing your fluffy friends and chasing my children/dreams.

'I have watched this artist over many years, her ability is outstanding and reflected in her work, whatever the subject. I particularly love her series of pet portraits and more recently, our native wildlife. Having commissioned a line-drawing of my pony I know her character will shine through forever on my wall when she is sadly no longer here. I have yet to frame my latest purchase, two beautiful pigeons. It's as if I am looking at the real thing!'

'Kate has done various portraits for me of both my dogs and chickens but also wildlife (fox) in a variety of mediums. The quality of the pieces is amazing and how she gets the eyes in particular so detailed is truly astounding. I'm sure that I'll be adding more of my menagerie to the walls of the house through her portraits soon! Highly recommended.'
