KATE ROCHESTER
Art for your walls inspired by the landscape
I aim to create a unique investment for you that grabs your imagination and compliments any space in your home or business.
By layering acrylics and mixed media on canvas I create gestural, expressive paintings bursting with colour and movement.
Filling sketchbooks out in the wild, I use fresh contemporary colour combinations to capture a moment, a walk, a storm, the sea and the sky.
These studies inform each canvas by combining creative mark making, and intuitive techniques in a process driven practice.
The viewer is invited to journey around the playful compositions with freedom and movement discovering moments of energy, intrigue and tranquility.

Framing and Commissions
I hand make my own frames from found and preloved wood, wherever possible, repurposed to give a simple, aged feel that compliments the painting. Knots, flaws and patinas add to the unique quality of each piece.

Would you like to paint with me and see my creative process? I love hosting workshops and can accommodate your learning requirements. Whether you prefer online tutorials; a group environment or an individual approach, I can work with you for a few hours or a few days if you want to dive deeper. We will experiment with colour, technique and texture on paper and canvas. I'll guide you through sketching exercises, mark making and composition. If you have an idea but don't know where to start, or you are more experienced but stuck for inspiration, get in touch about dates and lets get painting!
