During the day, I work as a creative director. At night, I draw my girls.
I like to work in pencil as I have absolutely no patience and I hate waiting for paint to dry. Watercolour is also great fun (and dries quickly!) - it has a mind of its own and I love the surprise results you can get from it.
I draw flirty, quirky girls. I love their curves, their huge eyes and big hair. I simply can't draw boys - I always want to brighten their skin tones and exaggerate their features until they wind up looking like drag queens!
Lowbrow art is my absolute passion - I trawl through lowbrow sites and pour over magazines trying to find artists I haven't seen before. It's always a thrill to come across a new name and discover a new style. I learnt how to draw from studying Mark Ryden and Joe Sorren's work - trying to figure out how they get the effects they create.

Hi Kate,
I saw an image of yours on the Facebook page of a mutual friend. I love your stuff and was happy to see that your inspiration comes from two of my favourite artists, Mark Ryden and Joe Sorren. Congratulations on your art and good luck for the future.

I absolutely love your artwork! I love the uniqueness of your girls...big eyes, big head, big hair...it's all great! I use them for creating signatures (or tags) for people, and they're so fun to work with. Thanks for your creativity!
