Kate has a bachelor’s in fine art and has worked as a professional artist and designer for over 20 years. She loves to paint natural subject matter including flowers, landscapes, and animals in oil, watercolor, and chalk pastel (but oil is her favorite). From detailed realism to loose and painterly, Kate loves to create in a variety of styles. She has worked as a graphic artist, surface designer, and is a published illustrator. A mother of two, Kate lives with her husband and their beagle. Kate and her family have enjoyed Lake Burton since 1996, and the gorgeous mountain scenery has been a favorite subject for many paintings.

“Nature is a constant source of inspiration, and I consider it a privilege to be able to create art that brings joy to others!” Kate says.
