Finishing & Framing
Finishing & Framing
The unframed prints on fine art paper, are sent to you wrapped in tissue and rolled to fit safely in a postal tube.
My prints on paper all have a white border within the print size dimension to allow for options when choosing your own framing.
I offer three framing options for my prints on paper. The frame finish choices are white, black and oak stain with a 3 mm sheet of acrylic glazing. Please be aware there is a little bit of reflection on the glazing, if you prefer no reflection, please look at my canvas prints as another option.
Alternatively, all the print on paper size options fit standard, off the shelf frames, so you also have the option of choosing a premade frame from a store or you can visit your local framer for a bespoke finish to suit your style and home.

FAQs
Where are you based?
I live and work in Devon in the south west of the UK.
What is your process?
My paintings are inspired by the wilderness and natural spaces such as moorland, the south west UK coastline and the dramatic wide open skies and the ever changing weather fronts.
I create my paintings building the paint up in layers to build texture and atmosphere. I like to transfer the energy and feeling of my subject with big gestural marks using a variety of wide brushes and scrapers. A suggestion of land, nature or coastline is achieved through mark making with various tools and organic lines.
Painting the contrast of light against dark is a strong part of my process to mirror the breathtaking drama of the weather that is something that moves me everyday while living here in Devon.
My paintings bring life and the wild to the viewer and their home and although my paintings feel spacious they have a subtle detail that continues to reveal itself over and over continuing to feed the soul.
What materials do you use?
We use giclée printing (high-quality inkjet printing) to reproducethe original artwork. Here's what you can expect:
Materials & Process
- Archival papers that won't yellow or deteriorate over time
- UV-resistant, water-based inks designed for fine art reproduction
- Each print captures the details, colors, and tones of the original piece
Longevity
- Prints maintain their colors for 100+ years with proper care
- Archival-quality materials resist fading and discoloration
- Studies suggest these prints can last 100-200 years in ideal conditions
Care & Display
- Keep prints away from direct sunlight to prevent fading
- Proper framing and placement help preserve the artwork longer
What This Means
Theseare high-quality reproductions designed to last, similar to what you'd find in galleriesor museums, rather than standard posters that fade quickly.
How do you give back to the environment?
Supporting Moor Trees with Every Print Sale
For every print sale, a donation is made to Moor Trees charity.
As well as making regular monthly donations to Moor Trees, I donate 5% of every print sale (both paper and canvas) to this incredible charity that plants thousands of trees in Devon each year.
About Moor Trees
Moor Trees is a charity on a mission to restore native woodland on Dartmoor and surrounding areas.
"We are more than just tree planters – we want to restore entire landscapes, creating thriving habitats and sequestering carbon for
generations to come. The woodlands we create together will mitigate climate change, create vital habitats for wildlife, and provide places for people to enjoy for generations to come. We aim to restore native broadleaf woodland by growing trees from locally collected seeds in our community tree nurseries and planting them as new woodland on private and public land."
Is there a way to see what the artwork might look like on my wall before buying?
Yes, if you are on my mailing list, you can request a room 'mockup'. Simply send me a picture of the wall you'd like to place the art on, with some of the room included in the shot, and I will create a mockup for you to show you how the artwork will look in your home or space.
Do you offer bespoke commissions?
Following your initial enquiry we have an initial discussion to decide upon the design. You can share with me about where it will be hung and perhaps about your decor if that is relevant. You may have a picture of a special place that you want to be reflected in the piece. We will look at my past paintings as a reference for composition, style, colour palette and atmosphere to create a guide for me before I begin. I will create you your own original painting over the course of a few weeks. I will communicate with you partway through the process and also towards the end to ensure we are on track.
I take a deposit at the beginning of the process and then we complete the payment when the painting is finished and ready for delivery or collection. I give you a price quote for the painting as well as the optional framing and the p and p if required. Costs depend on the size but are in line with my original paintings in my shop. I love fulfilling commissions and welcome your inquiry.
When will my item arrive?
Originals - please allow 3 business days for me to prepare your painting for safe shipping. I can currently only ship my original paintings within the UK or of course you may collect from my studio if that works for you.
I can however send prints on paper and prints on canvas worldwide.
Unframed prints - please allow 5-7 days for shipping as your print is hand made to order.
Framed prints - please allow 10-14 days for your print to be handmade and sent to our framers for finishing.
Once your order has been processed, you will receive a shipment notification email with an estimated delivery date.
Can I track my order?
Yes. All orders are given a tracking number so that you can follow your artwork from the date of the order to the delivery to your home!
Let customers speak for us
from 12 reviewsA fantastic informative day spent in Kate's welcoming studio space, learning from Pete about earth pigments. His experience with collecting and creating works of art with his discoveries was inspiring. I loved learning how to bind and make paints and create paintings with the spellbinding colours. Met some lovely people too!
Beautiful artwork
I just wanted to say that we finally got round to putting your painting up this summer and it brings me so much joy. I am really looking forward to seeing your new work and hopefully visiting your studio sometime next year.
Amazing. Could not be happier. Gorgeous piece, great communication from Kate, packaged super securely. I wish i had more wall space to purchase more of her art.
Through Kate's mentoring I have gained confidence in my ability to express my creativity. This experience has opened up and created new opportunities and possibilities I never thought possible. Kate is very knowledgeable, gentle and patient and I am truly grateful for her input and I continue to grow in our sessions together.
I discovered Kate on the last day of the Devon Open Studios this year. I loved her work and how it made me feel, so much, that I was delighted to be able to sign up for her Intuitive Painting Workshop. It didn't disappoint. She was so inspiring and helpful that she led me gently to produce the sort of art I had been crying out to achieve, but didn't know how.
Kate gently guided us away from "thinking" towards "intuition" so the images appeared in an organic way. I experienced the feeling of chaos with my work at one point and was guided to quieten the image using colour and technique. The time went so quickly. Kate was extremely generous with her knowledge and the equipment she provided. It was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and I learned a lot about herself as well as painting and intuitive creativity. It was an inspiring weekend workshop which I highly recommend.
It has been fun and surprising to see people's reactions to my creations since the weekend, I went for a cuppa with a friend who lives near your studio after the course, and she liked one of my pictures so much it's now on her kitchen wall! And some relatives of mine came round and really liked the canvas with a very swirly sky on it that I was going to paint over once I got some paints, and that is now on the wall at their house! So it's nice that your inspiration has rippled out to others in this way.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and felt it had just the right balance of guidance and freedom to play, a lovely relaxing and inspiring weekend.
I found the whole workshop to be really well balanced in all aspects. All support, materials, timing, information were really well considered and effective. I appreciated the sensitivity to the group dynamic both for individuals and as a whole. Whilst guidance and ideas were given and shared it also allowed room for everyone's creative journey and expression. As a beginner I found it to be very supportive and inspiring. Tea and cake, some lovely music and conversation all enhanced the experience. A very worthwhile and uplifting weekend for me. Thank you.
Very happy dealing with Kate, fantastic art work. very pleased with the decision to buy two pieces. Will be looking forward to her new exhibition
Absolutely beautiful piece
