"I was lucky enough to have Barrington Barber as my first art teacher at school, which set me off down the creative road. After a varied career of theatre production, singing, charity fundraising and latterly heading the business development and marketing department of a big city law firm for eight years I finally decided to dedicate myself full time to art and design.

I studied painting at Camberwell College of Arts and interior design and styling at Chelsea College of Arts and Central St Martins. The acclaimed painter, Trevor Bell (a leading member of the younger generation of St. Ives artists), very kindly offered to give me support and mentoring after seeing my paintings in 2005 and has provided invaluable advice over the years. I sold my first painting to my sixth form art teacher in 1985 and since then my work has been bought and commissioned by private collectors across Europe.

I'm a regular speaker on using colour in your home at Ideal Home Show and Grand Designs Live and for several years I taught Colour for Interior Design at Chelsea College of Arts.

In January 2015 I officially launched my first collection of homewares, which all have beautiful art at their core, as well as a sense of craft and the hand-made about them. I live in London with my two children, Zachary and Coco Rose."

Food lover, cookery book fiend, occasional jogger. Mother of two small livewires and tea aficionados, Ted and George. 

Kate launched Small & Wild, happy herbal tea for kids, with her friend Becky Coletto in November 2017. They were inspired by their own love for herbal tea and frustration at the lack of healthy, yet tasty drinks available for children. Previous to embarking on this tea adventure, Kate was a PR Consultant for 14 years, working for diverse clients from the British Army, to leading British food and drinks companies: including Marks & Spencer, Diageo, Arla Foods and Heinz. 

Kate’s favourite way to spend the weekend is taking her little wildlings out and about in the great outdoors (or most commonly Highgate Wood and Hampstead Heath) before coming home for a film and a lovely cup of tea (or perhaps a glass of red if it is after 6pm).
