Kate Kelly is a Norfolk-based painter who studied Fine Art Painting at Camberwell (MA) and the University of Brighton (BA). Her work explores intersectional feminism and biographical experiences, incorporating personal herstories from both research and practice.

 

The women in her paintings are active, vocal, and physically present, with space for their narratives. Kelly examines female experience through visual means, integrating identity through patterns and spatial composition. She uses photography and drawing to capture staged and candid moments. Her paintings explore subjective embodiment, portraying individuals as people with agency and presence, rather than as objects of passive observation.​
