I’m Kate Martin, an abstract artist from Perth, Western Australia, currently living in the coastal town of Hopetoun. Four years ago my art journey began and I was blown away by the response to my art. I’m self-taught and specialise in acrylic mediums including high flow, impasto and spray paint. I love bright colours and work in layers to create movement and texture. The process begins by being surrounded by God’s spectacular creation and allowing my senses to absorb all it has to offer and then letting it burst out onto the canvas. Staying true to what lies beneath and painting for me keeps the passion alive and honest.
My methods are not always “by the book”, but that’s what makes this journey even more exciting as I push my products to new limits, discovering new techniques and outcomes. I showcase my art and its process on my Instagram page @coloursbykate, Facebook page Colours By Kate and my website coloursbykate.com.au
My art has sold internationally to many countries including New Zealand, USA, England, France and Brazil.
I teach art classes online, and in my studio, sharing my passion and methods in creating abstract art. I also enjoy live painting and being involved in local festivals.
