Kate Sherman grew up on the Jurassic coast of Dorset, and now lives and works in Ditchling, Sussex. She graduated in 1993 with a degree in Fine Art, and has been a fulltime painter since 2005.
Kate Sherman’s oil paintings are based on photographs she has taken of her surrounding landscape. She explores the nature of memory, and the emotional distance between a real landscape and a photograph. In 2012, Kate spent a year in Costa Rica. The tropical landscape inspired her ‘San Gerardo’ collection.
Kate has exhibited widely, and her work was included in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2015.
