About
Kate Gerrard is a printmaker based in Hove, specialising in relief printmaking with a focus on linocut. Her work explores bold graphic design and expressive portraiture.
Influenced by Pop Art, Bauhaus, and the stylized aesthetics of mid-century art and design, Kate creates striking images that celebrate strength and individuality. Her subjects are often strong, determined women, portrayed with a sense of power and presence reminiscent of mid-century propaganda posters.
Kate marries this modern aesthetic with traditional craftmanship. Each piece is meticulously hand-carved onto blocks of Japanese vinyl and inked with rich, oil-based inks. She then prints each work by hand, ensuring that no two prints are exactly alike. Kate’s work is a vibrant, modern take on a historic process - bold, empowering, and joyful.
