Inspired by life in a rural landscape, Kate Owen creates intuitive, semi-abstract works that explore the connection between nature and human experience. Drawing on organic forms — particularly fungi and cacti — this piece reflects individuality, interdependence, and quiet playfulness.
Layered with acrylics, oil pastels, and oil sticks, Kate’s expressive use of colour brings depth, movement, and emotional resonance, inviting a sense of curiosity and wonder into the space.
