Last Summer Artist Kate Trafeli asked me to take her portrait whilst working at Coombe Farm Studios in South Devon. The studios are nestled into the valley of the River Dart and are, in my opinion, one of the most beautifully rural areas of Devon. I trundled down on a warm summer’s evening, in the first week of July, to meet Kate and see her paintings.
Kate’s work really resonated with me, the rich warm colours and large canvases are so immersive and inviting. Her brushstrokes are vivid and evocative. Together we created some images that reflect Kate as an individual and as and artist.
