Kate’s silk screen prints use her drawings, paintings and found objects as start points. The most recent prints are based on her watercolours of flowers, pots and nature study using a technique of subtle layering of transparent inks to create painterly marks and tertiary colours where the inks overlay.
A series recently completed is Nature Study - Seasons, inspired by School Prints and vintage educational posters. Using watercolour studies of individual nature treasures, Kate develops a poster design with hand-drawn type. Colour separations are painted by hand on overlays to make a separate screen for each colour - usually 9 or 10 colours. Spring is the latest addition to the series available from 14th June.
