Kate finds inspiration in her natural surroundings and the subtle details she observes in daily life. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could make the normal special?  Kate believes that the decoration and embellishment of a space can have a direct effect on well-being and happiness.  When creating designs, she hopes to bring joy, lightness, and warmth to a home or business. Her artwork is forged by hand – using brushes, ink, and fine line pens on thin transparencies on a light table. She works with Montreal-based WYNIL to manufacture and distribute her wallpaper.

Kate’s art can be found on wallpaper, art prints, woven blankets, and in collaborations with other businesses.  She serves a varying clientele from homeowners wishing to add personality to their home and also businesses wishing to add personalized and coveted artwork to enhance their brand and interior spaces. Kate has collaborated with Shopify, Penguin Random House, Facebook, Balzac’s Coffee Roasters, and the National Residencies of Canada. Kate was recently featured in Canadian Home & Home for a “Canada Cool Feature.”  If you have a project you would like to collaborate on, reach out here!
