Hello - I’m Kath Leone, a contemporary artist and textile designer from Cape Town, South Africa.
I create limited edition screen prints inspired by nature. These are imaginative scenes and pseudo botanical compositions featuring plants, insects, animals, fungi and sea life.
Whether free-diving in Cape Town’s magical kelp forests or sketching mushrooms and mosses under a shady tree canopy in the English countryside, I am repeatedly drawn to the detailed richness of life in these varied and awe-inspiring forest environments.
Proudly independent
A few favourite PIECEs
While my main practice is screen printing, I often combine this with watercolours by printing onto textured papers which I have hand painted in a wash of colour. This blending of media adds depth and a subtle nostalgic storybook quality to my work.
I have a condition called synaesthesia, resulting in continual additional colour, texture and shape perception when experiencing everyday sounds and words. This has resulted in a life-long love of working and experimenting with colour. This might also be what influences me to create work which is highly detailed and composed of numerous complex layers of overlapping, translucent inks in a quest to achieve glow and otherworldly qualities of colour not experienced through sight alone.
My work feels like a labour of love. Selling a piece of art is the most wonderful thing and I hope to spark joy in others by doing so!
