About

Kate Gerrard is a printmaker based in Hove, specialising in relief printmaking with a focus on linocut. Her work pushes the boundaries of this traditional medium to explore 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.
