Kate Morrison a multidisciplinary artist from Cumbria, currently based in London, working with painting and textiles. Graduating with first-class honours in Textiles in Practice from Manchester School of Art in 2016.

Kate's creative practice is demonstrated through expressive abstract painting that responds to her sense of journey and place.

Committing to documenting a sense of place Kate's work was recently showcased at Chapel House in Penzance (2023) and Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens in Cornwall (2024). Her wearable art silk scarf collection was selected for the BTCF Award and exhibited at Platform Gallery Clitheroe (2021). In 2023, Kate received the Homes & Gardens' Best Woven Fabric award for my work on a high-end fabric collection. She has also collaborated with renowned textile industry names, including Missoni HOME in Italy and London-based interior ateliers like Beaumont & Fletcher and Nina Campbell Designs.

Kate's work captures and highlight overlooked details in rural, urban, and coastal landscapes, focusing on Indigenous materials and topography. Through abstract visual stories using acrylic, oil bars, collage, pigment, and sheer layers, she emphasises fleeting moments and challenge how our modern world overlooks what was once celebrated. Her work bridges the familiar with fresh perspectives, fostering a dialogue between the audience and the artwork across past, present, and future.
