The summer night burns hot

The summer night burns hot captures the charged intimacy of a warm evening through a cropped, close-up composition. The soft drape of a white top against unbuttoned denim draws attention to heat, skin, and stillness, while the visible brushwork gives the piece a tactile, sensual immediacy. Balancing tenderness with tension, the painting evokes those lingering summer nights where the air feels heavy and every small detail seems heightened.

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.
