paintings by kate freeman

KATE FREEMAN’S vibrant works bring together her focus on colour relationships and the ‘happy accidents’ which happen when painting, and her work has given a modern and uplifting abstract atmosphere to the gallery. Kate gained a BA Hons in Art and Aesthetics, in 2007 having attended Cardiff University part time for six years, whilst working as a painter and decorator and bringing up two children.  Living around the UK, Kate first studied textiles in Carlisle college of Art, lived in Ireland in first remote area of Kerry then Dublin before moving to Hay on Wye on the Welsh border where she made textile works. She now lives in Pembrokeshie.
“I am fascinated by the incidental marks, accidental splashes and unexpected colour combinations which happen ‘around the edges’ of artmaking. I aim to incorporate the character of these serendipitous events into my paintings, and constantly navigate a path between control and spontaneity”
