Etc. Artist Talk: Kate Boucher

Join the online talk with THIS LINK

This month, our artist interview series will see Draw’s Jake Spicer talking with artist, author and tutor Kate Boucher.  The event is free and everybody is welcome, so please feel free to share this link as widely as you would like.

About Kate Boucher

Kate Boucher is based in North Wales, and creates transitional responses to landscapes of repeated routes and pathways, exploring the liminal states of twilight and daybreak. Kate responds to these landscapes through a drawing practice, using charcoal on paper, exploring this tension between the sensed and the known. 

She records her complex responses with sketchbooks and photography to bring back to her studio. Each piece in a series attempts to better express or expose the underlying reason why, whilst lost in thought and immersed in the landscape, her attention might have been drawn to one thing over another. The works are not intended to be portraits of a place but rather to capture a more universal, emotive response to landscape. 

Kate studied at Chelsea School of Art in the early 1990s, graduating from West Dean College with a Master of Fine Art 2016. She is a QEST Scholar and has received several awards. Her work has been exhibited with that of David Nash RA, Alice Kettle and Mathew Burrows and held in private collections internationally.  She is the author of Drawing with Charcoal.
