Welcome! My name is Kate and I live in the beautiful surroundings of the Welsh Marches, which provide constant inspiration.  I'm a mum, a part-time gardener, and I also work at home taking unwanted pieces of furniture and renovating them to a high standard with unique designs.  All my painting is done freehand without stencils or decoupage and each upcycled piece is totally individual, using best quality chalk paint.  I also create small decorative and useful bits of loveliness like boxes and candlesticks, and produce paintings, prints and cards for sale, inspired by the nature and wildlife that surrounds me.
