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. An enjoyment of art at school progressed into formal training at the City & Guilds of London Art School studying Sculpture.
She works from her studio in Cowes very near to the harbour. Kates ability to use paint and ink to show the energy and movement of many things, is her superpower. She really enjoys expressing the excitement of Racing in a regatta or powering along in a strong breeze on the Solent or any where else in the world. The local yachts and their surrounding sailing scene are what she is best known for.

Kate's life drawing, and the figurative studies she produces are unique and engaging. This work meshes with her sculpting using clay. She also has some works which are cast using the waste molding technique.
Kate enjoys the effect of using a palette of bright colours and metallics which, if you look hard enough, can be seen all around us. The images are established using a firm line, and the colours are boldly and instinctively applied to the canvas to produce a textured surface giving a richness of depth, energy, and movement. This results in a multifaceted visual experience for the eyes, mind and spirit.
She exhibits regularly at Seaview Art Gallery and enjoys taking on Commissions. Please contact the Gallery for more details. Due to demand, please try to give as much notice as possible before the date you need your commission completed.
