UNQUIET NATURE ~ LAND & SEA

I have a date for your diaries - the first weekend in November. Just a month to go until my exhibition of seascape paintings - “Unquiet Nature - Land & Sea”

I started to frame up the finished paintings today.

It’s been lovely to revisit favourite coastal places through my work. We’ve been unexpectedly landlocked for a couple of months after my partner John fell and broke his ankle on a rest stop on our way home from Kent. He’s on the mend now and fingers crossed we’ll head to the sea again after my exhibition 🤞

Hopefully my paintings will spark memories for you too, from Summer trips to the sea.

The exhibition takes place in the Art space linked to my studio block, Northlight where I’m lucky enough to work. It’s for one weekend only and after that, remaining paintings will be for sale through my website. More details of the new works to follow later this month

Warmly,

September Update

Hi there. Summer is slowly turning into Autumn with the long days filled with light gradually diminishing into longer nights. Thanks to my eldest daughter having moved out of her bedroom to set out for pastures new, I now have an attic studio space. This will enable me to work more effectively from home whilst the continuing uncertainty surrounding Covid 19 is happening.

New attic studio space.

I have been busy here, creating a new range of greetings cards which you can check out on the site. They will be available in 3 boxed sets as well as individually or 4 for £10. The new cards include some inspired by the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and local West Yorkshire scenes.

The exhibition at Studio Vault in Settle, North Yorkshire is still on till the end of this month. If you’re out and about that way, why not drop in and have a look at some my work on display and for sale. If you want a preview of the work you can always have a look in the original paintings page on the website. If you are interested in purchasing any of the available pieces, please contact the gallery (see list of stockists for contact info).

Some new products that will be coming soon include table lamps and candle lanterns but they are still in the design and production phase where some fine tuning is currently taking place.

*GIVEAWAY TIME**
I wanted to share a bit of cheer with all you lovely folks at this time and thought what better way than an Art Giveaway. I had this in mind a couple of months ago when I reached 1000 followers. I then completed my first townscape painting in a long while and thought that a print giveaway would be a nice way to celebrate. The original painting “Leeds Liverpool Canal At Saltaire” was delivered to the fab @giddy_arts gallery in Saltaire not long before the lockdown but I am running a limited edition print in three sizes and have just added it to the shop section of my website at www.kateboyce.co.uk 

The original painting depicts the Leeds Liverpool Canal running through the world famous Salts Mill in Saltaire near Bradford. The miil, opened in 1853, was once the largest factory in the world and Sir Titus Salt built a village to house and cater for his workforce. The mill now houses a permanent gallery featuring original work by David Hockney and the surrounding village is a World Heritage Site.

Future Exhibition at Studio Gallery, Settle.

I am currently working on new original paintings for an exhibition at the Studio Gallery in Settle. This is scheduled to commence in June but owing to the present situation, This may be rescheduled. New works will include paintings inspired by familiar scenery of the Yorkshire Dales.

Work available to purchase through websites

Just a reminder that work is still available through various galleries websites including

Cook House Galleries in the Lake District, Hope Gallery in Batley and Water St Gallery in Todmorden.

Where I'm At

February has been a wet and wild month. The Calder valley has been ravaged by floods causing heartache and disruption for so many. What could be more fitting as an antidote to the relentless grey than an eyeful of colour!

If you are interested in any of these pieces and would like to make an appointment to come and view please contact me via the website contact us. There is no obligation to buy but I can offer an instalment option should you be interested in purchasing any of them. I have a new stockist for my original paintings, the Blue Tree Gallery in York. Please see the stockist list to find a link to their website and address. If you don’t already follow me on Instagram, please do so using the links on this site.
