People & Places: Solo Exhibition by Kate Edmunds

Kate Edmunds is an Emmy award winning designer and an accomplished painter, having exhibited in many galleries including OXO Wharf and the Mall Galleries in London, the Victoria Gallery in Bath, and the Royal West of England Academy (RWA), Create Centre and Centre Space in Bristol. Kate Edmunds - Artist - new paintings using oils and mixed media on paper and canvas. "For me, the real excitement of landscape and portrait painting comes when I'm creating an impression of what I see, rather than a more literal image. Working mainly en plein air, and using swift, swirling brush strokes, marks and patterns, bright colours and contrasts, I aim to create something the viewer can complete in their own mind, perhaps with different interpretations on each viewing." Kate studied Design at Kingston University, and after several years as a TV graphic designer, founded her own design company, Eggnogg, in 2009. Always creative, Kate has in the last few years spent an increasing amount of time on her painting. This exhibition at the Mount Without is the culmination of that recent work.
