Kate McKennan
who design was the basis for the flower bed
BORN in Nantwich, Kate did a degree in Fine Art at
Manchester College of Art before going on to teach at the South Cheshire College
and at the NNEB (Nursery Nurses Education Board) College in Brighton. The
college teaches nursery nurses and Kate taught “the art part”.
She later became Assistant Director of an art
centre in Cardiff for three years and then had her children. Since then she has
taken posts in schools and colleges.
Kate has a Masters degree in dyslexia, enabling
her to teach dyslexic children, and is a trained aromatherapist and
reflexologist.
For the flower bed, Kate suggested various
colours for the blooms, discussing what would impact together, what would go on
blooming and what would come out at the same time.
A Fine Artist for 30 years, she now sells her
work through Peter Wilson Fine Art Auctioneers and other places.
Her last sale was in February, since when she
has done an art residency, taken part in Audlem Arts Festival, done a piece for
the Gay Pride exhibition in Manchester, raised funds for a village in Kenya, and
taken part in exhibitions in Nantwich, Warrington and Chester.
A “bit of a busy bee”, she will shortly be
producing more work to sell at auction. |
