Heron Kate

My paintings are interpretations of places I have lived, of my garden which I love, and of places in my imagination that I want to share. I hope that my paintings bring joy into other peoples lives.

I have been making floorcloths for over 20 years, in sizes from 2 x 3 feet up to 8 x 10 feet. I use very heavy canvas and the hems are mitered and glued. I use a Varathane Diamond floor finish after painting the design on each one.
