SketchBetter is a body of ink based drawings focused on calming the mind and resting in the present moment. By creating large artworks using only a black pen on white paper simplifies the palette of options on offer to the artist and using repeated patterns allows the creative mind the pause to connect with physical and emotional feelings and emotions in the present moment.

Art Hours
Free online art lessons, run through the school holidays during the UK lockdown in 2020.
​
I offered friends, family and previous students free art lessons everyday during the Easter and Half Term holidays in 2020. For an hour every afternoon we got together online to do an art activity. Activities were designed to inspire the children to create, during a time of significant change and confusion. Lessons included: Finger labyrinths for meditation; Positive affirmations in watercolour; Funny zines; Comics; Positive message banners; Zentangles; and Watercolour illustrations of spring.
"Thank you, Kate.
It was a very lovely activity and it has definitely calmed me.
I am now proud to be a Zentangles expert!"
