Over the past two years, Kate has been developing a powerful collection of artwork under the Trees & Memories project—an entirely Cornish initiative that has resonated widely across the region.

The idea began when Kate Cambridge, resident artist at Tregrehan Gardens in Cornwall,  painted a beloved tree on the Tregrehan Estate. That piece became the “Tregrehan” artwork, later auctioned at the Great Art Auction in aid of the Cornwall Community Foundation, as part of a fundraising initiative by the Great Gardens of Cornwall.

Inspired by the response from people of Cornwall to that first painting, Kate expanded the project to include more trees—each chosen for its unique story. Painted in her distinctive modern classic style, the collection now features over twenty iconic trees, each one tied to a personal memory.
