Kate Jennings West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Kate Jennings is a Leeds-based multidisciplinary artist with a Master’s in Fine Art. Rooted in expression, her practice explores emotion as a form of release and reflection. Initially focused on screen printing and protest, her work shifted after a personal loss in 2023. She now creates instinctively, using art as a way to let go while maintaining a commitment to community engagement.
Jennings works across typography, painting, print, and mark-making to explore connection and self-expression. Language sits at the centre of her practice, drawing on fragments of conversation, lyrics, and everyday words that linger in her mind. By layering and disrupting text, she examines how meaning shifts depending on who is speaking and who is heard.
Guided by feminist and community-led values, Jennings uses art to question power while creating space for care and vulnerability. Bold colour and expressive mark-making emerge through an intuitive, process-led approach without a fixed outcome. Whether working alone or collaboratively, her practice remains open, and deeply human.
