About Kate Dawes
Art and creativity has always been a big part of my life. For the last 25 years I have worked in the creative and photographic industries via Paris, Vancouver, Mallorca and London. Being lucky enough to have art directed, produced and edited for the likes of the BBC, Red Magazine, Ford and numerous catalogues it seemed the right moment that instead of just working on my own creative projects behind the scenes it was time to put them centre stage.
This is how my wall art has made it out into the wide world. I’ve come full circle, returning to the countryside to my childhood stomping ground and have decided to be brave and showcase my own work inspired by the wonders of nature and my passion for all things botanical.
