KATE CAMBRIDGE

Visual Artist

I paint Guardian Trees and all manner of interesting trees especially here in Cornwall. I also paint cabin scenes. My aim is to capture atmosphere, character and natural beauty.

WHO I AM

Pleased to meet you, my name is Kate Cambridge, but most people tend to call me “that artist that paints trees in Cornwall”. I do live in Cornwall, it’s beautiful and I consider myself very lucky.
It’s full of ancient trees, stories and of course changeable weather… so I’m in my element. Every tree has a story and memory attached to it, I love hearing them. So I paint what I love and what other people love.

WHAT I DO

GREAT TREES OF CORNWALL

I paint the Great Trees I find in Cornwall. Their natural beauty speaks for istelf. The stories and history attached to them is magical. They always surprise me! The beauty and memories attached acts like an insurance policy! People protect what they love.

I’d encourage anyone with stories of their connection to any tree worldwide to get in touch please.

WHAT I DO

GUARDIAN TREES AND CABINS

My work is also influenced by my love of Scandinavian landscapes, history and mythology. When travelling, I was really moved by the old ways and ancient Scandinavian traditions. Homesteads give thanks to their own guardian trees on their land for protection and good wealth. What a lovely tradition.

WHERE & HOW

I paint mainly outdoors with the weather, acrylics and spray-paint. I paint in ANY weather. If you see someone painting with the rain bouncing off their head, it’s probably me. Painting outdoors helps to involve nature practically in each piece. The rawness, strength, connection and emotion is in each piece, which is really what I want people to feel when they see it.

Great Trees of Cornwall

Title: Merlin

Latin Name: Castanea sativa

Sweet Chesnut Tree – Merlin is over 150 years old. Slower to provide leaves, slower to produce, however still beautiful. A magnificent tree that weathers every named storm, so therefore I think, deserves a name . I call this tree “Merlin”. Always sybolising strength, beauty and patience, no matter what happens in the world. The stories overheard through the years, are kept secret.
