Some comments from Facebook on my show at Millennium...and on a recent workshop I taught running alongside a show in Devon at The Plough Arts Centre

I’ve been very touched by all the good wishes and support I’ve received for the Opening of my show at Millennium St Ives tonight – thank you to everyone, it means a lot! I am nervous and excited!
Here are my Art Challenge pics for today.. works which are in the show…themes which arise in the works are attaining creaturelyness and growing close to the consciousness of the mountain; the importance of the feminine (in holding back the flood), the archaic mOther, and the horse’s connection to heavenly beings…

Have confidence! It’ll be a success. X

Good Luck Kate! xx
Good luck for the exhibition. Kate you are a brilliant artist
Utterly divine!

Dear Kate, each piece in your new show ‘With Closed Eyes’ is breathtaking. Beautiful, Exquisite. Inspired after reading your interview with Susan Daniel McElroy I opened ‘Sonnets To Orpheus ‘by Rilke &the first words I read were -“From both realms his wide nature grew. Only he who knows the roots of the willow can bend its branch into a lyre.” And “Nothing can destroy an authentic sign. ” For me, Rilke is describing your talent & your genius. And I especially loved that the paintings were like frescoes; layered. Shimmering. x Margaux.
Beautiful
Will be thinking of you tonight Kate and sorry I can’t make it, but will look forward to seeing the show.
Good Luck with the Exhibition and tonight, Kate
Exciting work!
Congratulations Kate you are a star
Hope you have a wonderful evening Kate – sorry I will miss the PV as feeling a bit poorly, but will definitely visit the gallery next week X
It is so uplifting to see your works

Moving show Kate, such special work as always. Particularly drawn to “Endorsing The Dust” very powerful,….& “Tenderness in The Garden”. Good luck with rest of showing.

From a student at The Plough Arts centre..

Recently completed a days workshop with one of the most inspiring artists I know, Kate Walters. I had a very powerful and visceral response to her work many years ago when I caught sight of it through a window. It led me to an art dealer where I was able to purchase 3 of her paintings over a few years. Her work is not for those who want the safe rural art that is so commonly seen within the south west but for those who are interested in what lies underneath. What makes us human, what makes a soul, in the felt sense, in our relationship to the animal both within us and outside of us. It is for those who wish to find their truth, to heal, to express. They are raw, tender and ethereal.
