KATE PRESTON ART
TOWN & COUNTRY
3–8 JUNE 2024
Kate’s passion for art is rooted in aesthetics and its ability to uplift spirits and bring character and joy into a home. Setting up Kate Preston Art in 2019 from her home in North Yorkshire was the realisation of a long-held desire to begin selling art and, at the same time, support up-and-coming artists. ‘I am a lifelong art lover and get such pleasure from buying a piece of art to go on our initially empty and today, increasingly eclectic and full walls at home in Yorkshire. But I don’t have a big budget, and looking for new, affordable artists is time-consuming and often too expensive, not to mention intimidating at certain galleries or auction houses.’ she says.
Her aim at Kate Preston Art is to be able to do some of the leg work for people and make the art-buying experience less daunting and more approachable. By showcasing the work of a small number of lovely, talented artists, anyone interested in buying a piece of art can discover gorgeous work that is affordable. Now in 2024, Kate is opening a new chapter with a week-long exhibition called ’Town & Country’ at The Gallery at Green & Stone on London’s Fulham Road.
With ’Town & Country’, Kate brings a slice of the countryside to London, showcasing the work of ten talented emerging artists and over 50 new paintings and artworks. The work includes beautiful still lifes in oil and watercolour, contemporary and abstract landscapes, big and playful limited edition prints and several gorgeous ceramics. As Kate says, ’Whether you’re looking for a special anniversary or wedding present, or doing a refurbishment at home and need to refresh your walls .. this exhibition is the perfect starting point. There’s something for everyone!’.
