Her abstract paintings evoke Irish landscape and are becoming increasingly sought after, both in Ireland and abroad.

Kate currently lives and works in Dublin after obtaining her fine art degree from Edinburgh College of Art in 2001.

At the age of 26, she has had an impressive career, exhibiting regularly in Ireland and Britain, and in 2005 alone she had two successful shows at the Cross Gallery and the Lemonstreet Gallery, Dublin. Her work is held in many private and public collections throughout Ireland and Britain including Allied Irish Bank, Office of Public Works and University College Dublin.

Kate began her “Source Series” in May 2004. These paintings have a direct and romantic appeal; images of mountain tops, horizons, skies, fields and natural vegetation dominate the work. She uses acrylics, oils and wax to create canvases that use constructed combinations of shapes, pattern, colour and painterly gestures.

Kate is currently working on commissions and preparing her first solo show at Mermaid Arts Centre, Wicklow in September 2006.
