Botanicals
Flowers, fruit, and the living world up close — Kate Ferrell's botanical paintings are rooted in the same place she is: a deep love of color, the memory of her mother's garden, and a belief that ordinary, growing things are worth lingering over.
This collection spans expressive floral arrangements and sun-warmed still lifes, from the loose, joyful energy of the Funky Flower series to the layered, light-filled florals of Morning Light and the quiet intimacy of A Feeling of Beginnings. Lemons- bright and unhurried- are a reminder to notice the beauty in everyday things. Each piece is an original, hand-painted mixed media work — alive with texture, pattern, and intention.
Botanicals are among the most collected works in Kate's studio, and several series sell out quickly. Works are available in a wide range of sizes, from small originals starting to larger statement pieces, making it easy to find something that fits your space and your budget.
Kate is a Nashville-based artist whose work has been shown in juried exhibitions across Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas, and is currently showing at Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC. Whether you're a first-time art buyer or a returning collector, these paintings bring warmth and life to any room they inhabit.
Part of the “In Good Time” collection, The Sweetness of Time is a gentle reminder to savor the beauty of everyday moments and appreciate the season we're in. Bright yellow lemons, a soft grey bowl, and layers of hand-painted collage paper bring color, texture, and a sense of joyful spontaneity to this original mixed-media painting. A celebration of life's simple pleasures and the sweetness found in the here and now.
