KATE RICHARDSON

Kate was born in 1971 and grew up in an outdoor lifestyle as part of a sailing family living on the River Hamble, near the Solent.
Kate enjoyed art at school and this progressed into formal training at the City & Guilds of London Art School studying Sculpture. From her studio in Cowes, she has the ability to use paint and ink to show the energy and movement of many things and she really enjoys expressing herself with the yachts and scenery and life drawing as well as figurative sculptures using clay which is then cast using the waste moulding technique. Kate enjoys the effect of using lovely bright colours which, if you look hard enough, can be seen all around us. The images are established using a firm line and the colours are applied to the canvas onto a bold textured surface to gain a richness of depth and this combination expresses energy, movement, and an enjoyable visual experience.
