OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Kate Walters, Penzance at by Skye Sherwin, The Guardian, 1.12.2012.

It’s not every day you find an artist who claims their home is in the body of a deer. Kate Walters’s delightful paintings of floating animal and human hybrids work an unabashed mysticism, recalling Chagall’s folky dream world. Sketchbook works like a spread-eagled blue horse containing a multi-breasted woman are deliciously funny and weird. Walters, though, isn’t one for raising an ironic eyebrow at new ageism. This is about a good, old-fashioned return to nature. Her paintings brazenly fuse references to cave art and classical mythology with a rainbow-tinted hippy sensibility, but don’t shy away from darker and stranger imagery.
