Frida

Ive started working with a more expressionism version of pop art, using bright bold colours to create depth and tone. Using inspiring popular culture figures in the female world, I wanted to create some strong and bold images of women, that highlight how powerful we really are.

This work of Frida Kahlo was a Mexican born painter who explored questions of identity, post-colonisation, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Original painting on canvas.

Creating her whole life and armed with a degree in Costume Design from Wimbledon School of Art, London, Kate starting to focus on painting more during the great lockdown 2020. Finding herself home alone, painting allowed an expressive and creative outlet that helped fill the void of isolation from the world. She quickly discovered a passion for painting, and specifically figurative and portraiture works, focusing on bright bold colour use and strong brush work. Her works take inspiration from the Pop Art, WPAP & Impressionistic movements, experimenting with conveying identity, character, emotion and thoughts.
