Banstead
Kate Marsden, b. 1978, lives in South London. She is a West Sussex born/London
based artist, with a background in Fashion & Textile Design and Surface Pattern
Design. Her mixed media paintings, drawings and prints are the result of many
years of experimentation alongside her more graphic, illustrative design based
work. Kate paints everyday items and objects, and is increasingly inspired by
the natural world and the abstraction of it. A desire to alter the viewer’s
perception of her subject matter has long been her desired outcome, whether this
be via the subversion of a traditional subject, or the beautification of
something considered to be ugly or undesirable. Kate’s work can be seen in
private collections as well as commercial commissions including at the
refurbished South London arts centre, Fairfield Halls. Her fabric designs have
graced a wide range products and have featured in both national and
international press.
