Kate Cochrane

Kate lives in Frome working from her studio in the garden. Inspiration comes from elements of the landscape including trees, rocks and ruined castles. Recently she has been concentrating on seascapes, mostly from Cornwall.

Kate is predominately a colourist though form is essential: colours often saturated are teased out of the subject considering the light, plus the play of ground and fore-ground.

Images for landscape are from her photos adjusted and manipulated by computer before being used. Kate likes to find connections with the area by walking, often reflecting on the past history of a place.

Media used includes oil, acrylic, acrylic inks, gouache, oil pastel or pastel, on board, paper or canvas. Her method includes layering of paint by palette knife, developing texture and adding glazes.

During 2026 Kate will be exhibiting at the Station Gallery, Frome, the Frome Open Art Trail  and the Somerset Art Weeks.

Events Organiser for Frome Open Art Trail.

Member of Artists303, the New Bath Arts Club, Somerset Art Works, Art Gallery SW and Bruton Art Society.

Kate runs Art Demos & workshops locally for Art Societies. She has run courses for the Trowbridge Town Hall Arts, and Frome Community Education.
