Kate initially trained as a fashion designer in the belief that messing about with beautiful fabric was likely to be more entertaining and less hard work than the chosen career paths of many of her teenaged peers. It was.

Kate turned out to be a moderately good designer but was unlikely ever to set the world on fire and, although she never fell out with frocks, they drifted apart.

Over the years Kate moved in the direction of her first passion in life, literature. She now work mainly with words and text in schools and with community groups.

Statement – Kate Davis
I think my work is concerned with finding…ways to say exactly what we mean. This can translate into all manner of things….I’ll try any medium to find ways of getting to the point.
In the coming year I’ll be working with Heron Mill exploring (rather loosely) the notions of renewable energy and climate change. We’ll be working in different types of local schools and with the community finding ways to say things, make things, play games, retell stories, move about a bit, use the gorgeous new barn space and generally get to know each other. It should be fun!
