About the Artist

Kate is an artist and illustrator based in Hertfordshire, her original artwork and giclée prints feature beautiful watercolour techniques with metallic details. Kate is the founder of Essoldo Design, Est August 2020, she has sold pieces to over 30 countries across the globe, successfully licensed her work in the UK, Europe and the USA and has written her first book, Creative Abstract Watercolour, is out now.

Why not join us for Kate’s workshop and create your own piece of art for your home?

Having gained a degree in textile design and surface pattern, life seemed to take Kate away from her art and launched her into a career in marketing. For many years any creativity was reserved for cake making and the odd craft project. Things changed during the monotony of lockdown 2020 when Kate decided to while away her weekends by picking up a paintbrush. Instantly her passion was reignited and she was soon creating custom artwork for friends and family. As commissions through her Instagram built momentum Essoldo Design was born!

Kate is inspired by nature, from flowers and greenery to gemstones and jewels. She is obsessed with embellishment so her work features a myriad of dots, decorations and most importantly gold!

Kate is at her happiest while painting in her studio, listening to an audiobook and occasionally dipping her paintbrush absentmindedly into her cup of (builders) tea!
