art that goes beyond decor, it’s a connection.
For Kate Thomas, art has always been a language of connection—an open space where emotion, memory, and meaning meet. What began as marks on a page grew into a lifelong exploration of presence and beauty.
Through her paintings and classes, Kate offers more than a visual experience—she offers permission. Permission to slow down, to be present, to feel, and to return to yourself. Whether it’s a painting that becomes a mirror for your own story or a creative practice that reconnects you to your voice, her work is an invitation to meaningful connection—with art, with life, and with yourself.
ORIGINALS
Kate’s work evokes calm, depth, and reflection, offering a serene escape for those seeking emotional resonance in their space. Authentic, original, and elevated - Kate’s artwork invites you to pause, reflect, and feel truly connected. With moody blues, soft edges, and layered light, each piece offers a moment to pause, to breathe, and to feel more deeply rooted in yourself and your surroundings.
RECENT WORk
The Furtherings Collection is an ongoing conversation between past and present, between where I’ve been and where I’m headed. Some pieces began as echoes of earlier paintings, then evolved into something completely new as I layered washes, revisited textures, and allowed the work to surprise me. The collection is full of abstracted landscapes and a whole lot of my heart.
