Kate Osborne Catalogue

Kate Osborne

I studied textile design at The West Sussex Col-lege of Art and Design in Worthing from 1972 to 1976 and, following this, worked for two London textile studios as a floral designer. In 1979 I went to live in Los Angeles where I freelanced, doing production ready artwork for various manufactur-ers. I then spent a year in New Mexico, living in a shack in an old coal mining town, painting wildlife and botanical subjects, and selling through a gal-lery in Santa Fe. I returned home in 1984, where I began illustrat-ing for books, magazines and advertising, as well as continuing with textile design.Clients have in-cluded Sainsbury's and London Transport. For the last 20 years, I have concentrated on painting, and now work very freely in watercolour, with the minimum of compositional drawing; this gives the paintings an unpremeditated look, which attempts to express the beautiful but tran-sitory nature of the subject matter - fruit , flowers, vegetables and, more recently, animals and birds. ALL THE WATECOLOURS ARE FRAMED AND PRICED BE-

TWEEN £320 AND £420.
