Kate Bradshaw David is a contemporary multi-disciplinary artist who paints colorful non-representational art with gouache and acrylic. Kate uses contrasting and/or complementary colors and explores repetition, tessellations, the similarities between microscopic and macroscopic forms, and the organic flowing forms created through fluid dynamics. The artist explains, “I am fascinated by the beauty of some scientific or geological images, and I often turn to scientific, medical or geological studies for inspiration.”Kate is represented by CamibaArt Gallery, in Austin, Texas.

I am fascinated by the tessellations that occur in nature: the visual likeness between a speck of dust and a boulder, the same fluid dynamics between rushing water and once-molten lava cooled a millennia ago. I reduce these disparate elements to their bare outlines and then transform them using vibrant color and intentional line distortions to create a new, fantastical landscape. These abstracted, non-representational forms create personal meaning for the viewer through my use of contrasting and/or complementary colors and either organic or linear shapes. I want to evoke an emotional and tactile response for the viewer, one that transports them to a momentary meditative visual sanctuary.
