Kate Ferrell

Kate creates intuitive abstract and abstracted representational paintings, including still life and landscapes. Working with acrylic, collage, and other mixed media, she builds expressive, gestural movement into her work.

Her love for nature was shaped by childhood trips to the Great Smoky Mountains and her mother’s work as a gardener and floral designer. These are among the influences that shape her approach, guiding her to convey not just what she sees, but the emotions and movement of the natural world—calm, wonder, and vitality.

Believing that art is an act of mindfulness, Kate approaches each piece with a sense of presence, allowing spontaneity to guide her brushstrokes. Her work conveys a sense of freedom, groundedness in the present moment, and the feeling of being fully alive.
