Love is Everything, everything is Love Painting

Kate Mayer's work is deeply rooted in the belief of manifesting positive change through thoughts and intentions. She firmly holds that our surroundings wield a profound impact on our subconscious thoughts, and intentional choices in our environment can lead to transforming perceptions, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life. Recently, her artistic expression has taken a profound shift, leading her towards creating powerful and energetic abstract works. Working primarily with acrylics and spray paints, she skilfully plays with light, incorporating textural elements like diamond dust and gesso to produce pieces that visibly transform with the shifting sun. Influenced by the vibrant environment of East London, Mayer embraces street art-inspired colour palettes, infusing neon highlights over softer sprayed base layers, and finishing with pronounced sweeping strokes of acrylic. Emotionally sensitive and attuned to aural stimulation, Kate draws significant inspiration from music and conversation, where sounds, words, and melodies evoke a wide range of emotions that energise her work. Each artwork she produces reflects the interplay between these aural elements and her inner world, resonating with the powerful energy they evoke. Originally from Carlisle, Kate completed her degree in Three Dimensional Design before making London her home in 1997. Over the past 25 years, she has embarked on a diverse journey in the creative industries, establishing successful brands and specialising in prints and surface patterns. Notably, she has led design teams for renowned names like M&S and Warehouse. Her impressive portfolio includes showcasing her work in prestigious retailers such as Selfridges, Galleries Lafayette, and House of Fraser, alongside being featured in various interior magazines and Sunday supplements. Since launching her art career in 2020 her work has sold to collectors worldwide, she was selected as one of the 10 must see artists and the New Artist Fair 2021, has participated in groups shows and recently had work in in the Just Be Nice Exhibition at East Gallery, curated by Dave Buonoguidi. Through her art, Kate Mayer aspires to inspire mindfulness of the influence our surroundings hold and encourages embracing the potential for personal growth and positive transformation.
