& Processes of Rising Women in the Arts
Studio Visit Book Vol 1 An Arts To Hearts Project
Kate Wilson is one of 30 incredibly talented female artists from across the globe selected by Danielle Krysa, the Jealous Curator. Each artist's unique creative process is impeccably captured through a series of intimate photographs and revealing interviews, inviting you to take a peek inside their personal spaces to witness the magic they create.
Artist Mills: Galleries, Studios and a Lifestyle
Kate Wilson, who has a studio at Hope Artiste Village, shared that she drilled into one of a pair of black beams that run through her studio, and the smell of pine and sap was “overwhelming.” The moment made her appreciate the craft that went into this structure. “They don’t make them like this anymore. They can’t, the materials don’t exist anymore. So it’s an honor for me to be here.”
A Spiritual Evolution: NAWAMA Expands Its Message To The Berkshires
Kate Wilson has several acrylic paintings in this exhibition [Female], all of which seize upon the careful juxtaposition of forms, seemingly arising from a bardo-like flat background. Most notable is "Meet Me Halfway," two earthy olive-green forms sharing a yellow mist of a meeting point. They are blithe energies magnetized to one another. Described as mother and child by the artist, the shapes induce emotive dependence on one entity by the other in a cryptic language of non-representative shapes.
Meet Kate Wilson
Simple forms in nature and the everyday inspire me, and I incorporate them into my art. My mission is to raise the global psyche through my art. I believe the human soul craves space for curiosity and imagination- timeless, limitless, and untethered to the frenetic constructs of the modern world. I create visual platforms to nurture this yearning. I am driven to make a tangible place in which others can explore.
Artist Brings Love, Light, And Inspiration Through Work
Pawtucket-based artist Kate Wilson says she sees the potential for art in everyday household materials and isn't afraid of using what she has available at her fingertips. For her latest exhibit, Reflections, which opened Oct. 8 at the Providence Art Club, Wilson is featuring simple minimal paintings and sculptures made with aluminum can pop tops, aluminum wire, and dog tag covers. Wilson shares the exhibit with fellow artists Tom Monahan and Elaine Auger. "We want to let the viewer have the experience of reflecting inwards with the art," Wilson said. "I hope that through taking the opportunity to see what they are experiencing, they are letting go of whatever they've come in with and are giving themselves over to the present moment."
Beauty In Simplicity: Kate Wilson's Photographs Turn Everyday Objects Into Kaleidoscopic Art
Kate's work has been described as Georgia O'Keeffe meets Rorschach. Kate finds beauty within simplicity. Kate will hide a tiny word inside her images: viewers can hunt for "hope," "love," or "create" inside the picture, adding a game and making it interactive. Her first solo exhibit, Twisting Reality, featured 26 pieces at Sprout Gallery.
Artist Portraits Highlighted at State House
Kate Wilson is one of 32 Rhode Island artists to be featured, life-sized, in Robert W. Easton's Art of the State exhibition. Of the show, Rhode Island Secretary of State Gregg M. Amore says, "Robert Easton's exhibition highlights some of the talented artists who call our state home, and we are grateful to him for sharing his work with State House employees and visitors."
Finding Trippy Beauty In Simplicity
Each of Kate Wilson's photographs contains a mystery to unravel. What initially looked like abstract, colorful photo-realist prints are, in fact, close-ups of common, everyday items: flower buds, water bottles, wires, silverware, matches, taillights, and insects. The beholder can try to figure out which object is being depicted or wonder how a series of irregular globes and intersecting lines could possibly be a bottle of Aquafina.
