Kate moved from London to Hamilton in 1981, survived the culture shock of those far off days and now works with print, paint, stitch and digital media from her studio gallery overlooking the Te Awa o Katapaki gully. Recent exhibitions include “Threaded Narratives” – an investigation of the dialogue between traditional fabric based approaches and her own contemporary practice. Her studio, Hillsside Workshop, is open by appointment at 1914 River Road.
