Somerset Art Weeks Artist: Kate Clements

Kate's current work reflects a penchant for colour with vivid blues and sea tones occurring frequently in both her abstract and figurative works.  There is careful attention paid to detail, without being fussy creating pleasing arrangements within the canvas.

Combining her Bsc in Psychology with a Foundation in Art, Kate trained in Art Psychotherapy in 1985 at Hertfordshire College of Art and Design. Here she enjoyed using her studio space to explore and develop her interest in the human condition whilst using art as a vehicle for expression. This led to work that featured the human form in many guises using charcoal, pastel and acrylic images of the nude figure. Kate has experimented with abstracts and more recently bold modern floral images. She continues to work in mental health as an Art Psychotherapist in private practice and has recently set up her own studio. She is enjoying the new experience of exhibiting in various venues including The Trowbridge Gallery.
