Hi Kate. You are doing a wonderful job on your art blog!! I am impressed by the flow in your writing. I like how you include the artist's vision of their work through well-placed quotes, while sticking to your own observations and insights into the works.

In 2013, Kate profiled my career as a BC visual artist with a Studio Visit webpage. Kate is very skilled, combining text with excellent photography. She also brings a keen sense of design which makes ‘Page’ results really satisfying. She continues to regularly update my webpage at no extra cost. As I reflect on ways Kate has assisted me with documentation, writing support and vital encouragement, I see great value in the whole Studio Visit process.

April 26-May 25, 2019 Marney Ward at Chapel Gallery. Thanks so much Kate, the webpage is very good, you are an excellent writer. I especially love the final sentence, people sometimes tell me they feel like a bee, right in the middle of my flowers. The Chapel Gallery at St Matthias Church is a special place that couldn't function without the support of a whole community. Marney Ward Webpage
Your webpages get better and better. The writing makes me want to see Marney's show because she has such an interesting life story! The artwork stands by itself but knowing more about the artist intrigues me to visit the exhibition. Joan Mathieu.
My show was a great success. People kept coming and it was held over for an extra day. Thanks for your help with the promotional webpage. I was able to refer gallery guests to the webpage, and people unable to attend could view the write-up. Thanks! Catherine Fraser, Isle of Iona at the Chapel Gallery Jan/Feb 2019.

This is a great write-up and presentation on Martina Edmondson’s work. You are such a good writer and Martina's work is so beautiful. I look forward to seeing the show at the Gage Gallery Nov 20-Dec 8 2018. Jill Ehlert. Martina's Webpage
Thank you so much Kate - This is a FANTASTIC piece. I have always enjoyed Haren Vakil’s work. Such a Delightfully interesting Artist! I look forward to the show at the Gage Gallery Sept 2018. Wendy Picken. Haren Vakil Webpage
