Kate Bates

a celebration of vibrancy and colour

About ​Kate Bates

Kate Bates’ art is a celebration of vibrancy and colour, with her current body of work delving into the exploration of botanical forms through bold shapes and vivid hues. Her artistic creations come to life on both board and canvas, utilizing the versatile medium of acrylic.  ​Armed with a degree in art and education, Kate boasts an impressive 25-year teaching career. Her passion for art education has seen her imparting knowledge not only within the confines of traditional classrooms but also from her studio nestled on the family

farm in Dyrham, just outside Bath.  It is within this creative haven that Kate conducts workshops, sharing her expertise and fostering the artistic talents of others.The family farm serves as more than just a backdrop; it is a wellspring of inspiration that permeates Kate's work, influencing the development of her creativity. The natural beauty that envelops the farm becomes a muse, infusing her art with a genuine connection to the world around her.  ​Beyond the confines of her studio, Kate's life is

a harmonious blend of artistic pursuits and the joys of rural living. When not immersed in the act of painting or guiding others through creative processes in her workshops, she can be found engaging with the outdoors – walking her dogs, riding her horse, or cherishing moments with her four boys. This seamless integration of her art with the ebb and flow of daily life speaks to the authenticity and richness that Kate brings to both her creations and her role as an educator in the world of art.
