Develop skills in representing landscape with the versatile and expressive media of soft pastel and charcoal. Working from direct observation and from your own photographs, make quick responsive studies. Experiment with various ways of applying the media, on different surfaces, to create dynamic landscape drawings. Kate Boucher

She trained at Chelsea School of Art and recently gained a Master of Fine Art from West Dean College. She was awarded a prestigious QEST scholarship, was the Edward James Foundation Scholar in 2015/16 and winner of the Valarie Power Prize for Visual Arts.

Her practice also includes handmade felt and forged metal structures also created as a response to landscape.
