Kate Boucher

Artist, author and tutor Kate Boucher studied at Chelsea School of Art in the early 1990s, graduating from West Dean College with a Master of Fine Art 2016. She is a QEST Scholar and has received several awards. Her work has been exhibited with that of David Nash RA, Alice Kettle and Tai Shan Schierenberg and held in private collections internationally. Kate teaches at West Dean College and was introduced to the gallery by photographer and friend of the gallery, Graham Murrell.

Kate’s work is created in response to landscapes that are in some way, transitional. These landscapes are recorded in the liminal states of twilight and daybreak, where the separation seems thinner between the real, the sensed and the remembered. Boucher responds to these landscapes through a drawing and making practice, exploring this tension between the sensed and the known.

Kate took up the inaugural artist residency at Fen Ditton Gallery in June 2022. You can our blog ‘Residency Reflections’ here.
