About
Kate is an artist, teacher and trainee psychotherapist based in Birmingham. She graduated from Cambridge (1993) with a BA Hons Degree in Theology and Art History before taking further study in sculpture - HND Figurative Sculpture (1996), Stafford College and BA Fine Art Sculpture (1997), University of Wolverhampton. She recently gained a MA in Art and Education Practices at BCU (2019).
Her work is informed by the people and events in her life. She finds inspiration in her local multicultural community of Handsworth and responds to wider political and educational issues. Living and working in Japan has also informed her interest in ceramics and Raku firing techniques. She aims to convey a sense of life, a story or narrative and to fire the viewer’s imagination. She is currently exploring themes of identity such as in motherhood and childhood.
Kate has work in private collections in the UK and abroad; the famous New Hall permanent collection of women’s art, University of Cambridge and St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford. Exhibitor at the Royal Birmingham Society of Art since 2011. Awarded the RBSA 3D prize for sculpture, 2020. Her ‘Black Madonna and Child of Covid Lockdown’ for St Mary’s Kilburn Church, London was unveiled by Dame Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London in 2023.
