Beautiful fabrics in unusual combinations reflect Kate's background in textile design. She is a graduate of the Textile Department of The Rhode Island School of Design. Her sculptural gesture draws on her study of the human figure. Kate continues a practice of drawing, printmaking and sculpture to push and evolve the work she loves to create. These disciplines combine with her kinesthetic approach to discovering each character: "Where others would sketch and render an idea I sense the emerging form. The movement, gesture or posture is found inside my body as a language not in my imagination as most assume. I might use an attitude from my own experience and place it into the sentiment as a framework, and then I detail and articulate from an inherent lust for fabric, costume and the dramatic arts. I have discovered my obsessions and fetishes to be an endless channel for creating." Her work is her muse, a silent imprint or suggested feeling created through the posture and expression of the figure evolving in front of her. These works also reflect outward involving the viewer in a conversation or connection to an experience of themselves. Each piece becomes an artful muse to those who collect them.
