Britain's What's On Event Guide
Art Exhibition by Kate Beaumont
Come along and see the amazing artwork of Kate Beaumont throughout December.
About the Event:
Attenborough Nature Centre will be exhibiting the art of Kate Beaumont through December.
The exhibition is located in the corridor at Attenborough Nature Centre and will be available during standard opening hours. A proportion of all sales will be donated to the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.
About the Artist:
My name is Kate, I’m an artist from Nottingham and I specialise in drawing my favourite birds! Art forms a huge part of my life and I have been drawing and painting ever since I can remember. My love of the natural world and wild creatures and habitats comes a close second to this, so combining the two was the obvious route for my creative endeavours.
I have had a passion for the natural world since childhood, gaining a PhD in genetics and following a scientific career alongside my love of art. This fuels my enthusiasm for representing the less appreciated but commonly spotted native avian population. With several years birdwatching under my belt I have developed a love for birds of all types, particularly those which could benefit from better representation, to encourage people to appreciate, conserve and help these feathered friends.
My most commonly used medium is ink on card, with brush tip felt pens to produce a naturalistic effect in my artwork. These illustrations are inspired by bird books that I read over and over as a child and have a more scientific element as opposed to more abstract styles. I also use acrylic paints to capture sunsets and landscape, trying to capture the dramatic colours of the natural world.
My work has been featured on two beer bottles produced by From the Notebook brewery, the Blackbird mild ale and Sand Martin pale ale, the latter developed in collaboration with Attenborough nature reserve to promote their sand martin hide.
Meeting point:
Corridor inside the Centre, beyond the café and shop.
