Kate Osborne Prints

Kate Osborne Prints and Limited Edition Art:
Kate Osborne studied textile design and watercolour on the south coast of England from 1972 to 1976 and following this, worked for two London textile studios as a floral designer. In 1979 Kate went to live in Los Angeles where she freelanced, doing production ready artwork for various manufacturers. Later she decamped to a shack in Madrid, New Mexico, an old coal mining town, painting wildlife and botanical subjects, selling through the Canyon Road Gallery in Santa Fe. Kate Osborne returned home in 1984, where she began illustrating for books, magazines and advertising, as well as continuing with textile design. Clients have included Sainsbury's, London Transport and Mitchell Beazley.

Since having a family, Kate has returned to my real love, painting, and now work very freely and richly in watercolour, with the minimum of compositional drawing; this gives the paintings an unpremeditated look, which attempts to express the beautiful but transitory nature of the subject matter - fruit , flowers, vegetables and, more recently, animals, butterflies and bugs.

As well as originals, Kate now produces high quality giclée prints of an exceptional standard, making them faithful and collectable reproductions of her original watercolour paintings. Printed using the finest Fine Art watercolour paper by Hahnemühle (genuine mould-made 100% rag) using seven colour UltraChrome pigment inks. All Kate's Limited Edition Fine Art Prints are signed by the artist and come in limited editions of 100 and 150.
