About Kate Alexandra Hennessy
My Artistic Journey
My roots as an artist began in the countryside between Dorset and Somerset — where light, landscape and people shaped my way of seeing. Art gives me focus and presence. Watercolour very quickly became my primary language — for its fragility, honesty and its ability to hold feeling.
My work centres on portraiture and the human figure. — capturing nuance, memory and the essence of the individual.
