KATE COLLINS
Born in 1948, Kate Collins is a Macclesfield artist whose work bridges the worlds of Naive and Outsider art. Featured in Who’s Who in Art, she blends rural inspiration with vintage influences. Her diverse portfolio spans intricate, lustre-decorated ceramics and evocative paintings in egg tempera and oils.“The ideas I have stem mainly from life’s experiences, a love of the countryside and decorative objects which are incorporated in ceramic design, and paintings of varied subjects. Influenced by the vintage Fairyland ware produced by Wedgewood in the 1930s, my ceramics are decorated with precious metal lustres and enamel. Paintings are egg Tempera and oils.”
