Kate Shephard at Crafty Cow Design

I live in the beautiful town of Poole and  I’ve been in love with art for as long as I can remember. Painting has always been an important part of my life, and I truly love being an artist!

I mainly work with acrylics on canvas as well as watercolours, which let me play around with lots of textures and effects. Lately, I’ve also been exploring oil paints and am absolutely loving the flexibility and blending options they offer. 

Art is my way of expressing myself and sharing my feelings. I often find myself drawn to water and landscapes, using abstract styles, while my watercolours celebrate the charming local scenes and wildlife.

I find colour sparks my imagination and I can’t resist using bright, vibrant hues and a sprinkle of sparkle to bring my work to life. The ocean’s changing moods and the stunning scenery of Dorset are my endless sources of inspiration.
