Feature: Kate MacAndrew

Hatch'd finds out more about local artist Kate MacAndrew.

Sam recently met up with local artist Kate MacAndrew, and here's what she had to say for herself,

"I'm a twenty-something artist, photographer, blogger and workshop leader. A few of my favourite things include painting and photography, reading creative blogs, tweeting, drinking cups of tea, reading crafty magazines and going for walks in the countryside.

Inspired Naturally is my creative business, born in the summer of 2009 after I graduated with an Illustration degree. My artwork is created by combining both my paintings and photography. With the natural world around me as a basis for my inspiration, new images and ideas are always being created. I hope to produce artwork that people can enjoy, and perhaps encourage them to look at their surrounding more closely.

I offer art workshops on a small or large scale to primary schools and community groups in and around the Derbyshire area. I also take on personal mixed media commissions and pet portraits."
