Kate creates most often in watercolour, and in glass – fused, stained and mosaic – frequently combining mixed media and photo-transfer elements. Her favorite subjects to paint are flora, fauna, and landscapes, where she tends to work representationally; in glass, she leans more to abstract expression or thematically linked pieces. Most recently she is experimenting with collage, and adding dimensional pieces to her paintings. Works range from decorative paintings, glass panels, and pet portraits, to more practical items such as garden stepping stones and fused glass votive candle pieces.
