"Creating art using fiber as the medium requires unique talents which Kate has in abundance. But what impresses me even more is her ability to transform her art into wearable pieces. This involves talent, vision and very practical skills, all working together in harmony. Amazing!" Judy Dales

"Kate has fresh new insights, new approaches, new ideas, all with a touch of humor; just what the doctor ordered!" Virginia Avery, described by Kate as the Queen of Wearable Art.

Born in Britain I relocated to Colorado in 2005 and love my new life here. I have always been inspired by the landscape in the US and that inspiration has found its way into some of my work.

I made my first quilt in 1986 and soon moved from traditional designs to Art Quilts. My love of clothes also prompted me to begin making Wearable Art.

Over the years I have taken classes with many of the well-known Art Quilters of the world and enjoyed the learning process and seeing the results of study in my work.

I began to work as a demonstrator at Quilt Shows in Europe and the UK in 1997 and I now teach classes myself and enjoy passing on the skills I have. I have taught and lectured all over the UK, many European countries and the USA.

I have been honored to be asked to have solo shows at a number of venues in Europe and in the USA.

Since arriving in the USA I have been fortunate to be juried into a number of prestigious exhibitions and also to have sold my work both Wearable Art and Wallhangings. I am also teaching and enjoying meeting that challenge.

I am one of the owners of the co-operative The Courtyard Gallery in Buena Vista CO www.thecourtyardgallery.com President of Arkansas Valley Arts Center www.arkansasvalleyartcenter.org and also show my work at Gallery 150 Salida CO.

Through my work I find a way of expressing myself that I am unable to do in any other way. It is very personal to me and with it I am able to discover new things about myself and the world I live in.

The reward is enormous when other people also respond to what I have created.

By the way, one of my daughters is an amazing artist. Puts me to shame! Take a look at her link www.tiffanyoben.co.uk. Last year she was part of the 4th Plinth Artists Show in Trafalgar Square London She amazed us all. I am a very proud mummy!!
