Artworks: 22
Kate’s style is highly technical and detailed photo-realism with a strong emphasis on patterns of light and colour. Her current art works are based around immersion in water. Emotive, sensual and uplifting, Kate’s paintings celebrate the beauty of life on the Australian beach, evoking feelings of warmth and delight. Her use of colour and light refracted through water create works of art that are both masterful and beautiful. Kate’s debut portfolio of artwork includes a curated collection of primarily figurative works, with a selection of contemporary portraits celebrating the beauty of the female face and figure.
Kate Harkin art works are available for purchase as originals or as limited edition signed prints.
