Hello I am Tate

There is so much wonder hidden in the things all around us - especially in the things we overlook and see as boring or regular.

I am based in Newcastle and work predominately with watercolour, creating artworks that aim to bring fresh perspective to everyday experiences.

I love random connections, sentimentalizing regular things, and the way that everything means something.

I also love fish.

three things about me:

1. I love olives so much

2. I am trying to learn to play harmonica

3. I told my year 2 art teacher that I wanted to be an astronaut when I grow up, but she misheard me and said, “Oh yes, I think you’d be a great artist.”

So I changed my mind.
