Kate Hughes

I’m an artist working in the UK, drawing, painting and writing. I studied BA Fine Art (Painting) at the City & Guilds of London Art School (CGLAS) and am the winner of the Haworth Prize and De Laszlo Prize for Portraiture. Artist residencies include Dept for Cardio-thoracic surgery at Papworth Hospital, Dept of Neuroscience at Queen Mary University London and Cill Rialaig, Ireland.

My work hints at stories mundane or magical, inspired by many things including myths and microbiology. There is wonder in the everyday of the world around us, in small things, as there is in the incredible events in history and technological developments.
