Feeling very grateful

I am still resting and processing the amazing madness of May – the month that is the most intense for artists in Brighton and Hove Uk.

Christian Funnel’s sculptures at our POP UP at 1 Rigden Road – so proud I made this happen!

It sometimes feels like a crazy helter-skelter of deadlines, followed by quietness but mostly I am so proud and happy from all the plans that came to fruition, the connections made and the new friends collectors supporters who flowed towards me, and the amazing artists I exhibited with – and the capacity for open minded appreciation of the Humans who made the effort to visit us in three different venues.

And the people who have come since to the studio to see the work; something I really enjoy – contact me info@katescottpaintings.com to arrange a visit

‘Towards The Light’ AOH 40th Anniversary Exhibition – Regency Townhouse, 13 Brunswick Square, Hove

Bright Sky Gleaming – 100 x 100 cm acrylic on canvas

I am so proud to have a painting included in this exhibition – especially since Brighton is my home town, and I grew up going to the open houses with my mum, Annie Robinson who happened to be the director of the friends of the Brighton festival for years.

Link for tickets to the preview is below

My association with cake and art started around this time …..

Amazing quote from ‘Two Flamboyant Fathers’

Author Nicolette Devas

Painting changed me, instead of feeling a helpless muddle, inadequate in any given situation, doomed to be a misfit, an urgent purpose gave me direction.

Using paint as a medium of transport, as it were, I found a way to cast out my inner confusion. The untidiness inside me was tidied up in my painting.

Since that day I have been impelled either to paint or write, if I stop for a period of a week, I get tangled up again. To explain my compulsion in another way: life to me is a muddle, and my way of making a harmonious pattern from the muddle, is to invent order in my work.

The pattern must be remade every day if I am to keep my spirit calm and serene.

Happy place – at Dynamite Art Fair with @susanne.winter 1-3rd April 2022

And just letting you know my Instagram account kate_scott_paintings is now safely back with me – apologies again to anybody who received DM messages up until 23rd March – I am very grateful to say all is now well.
