Welcome to my website.
My name is Kate Rattray and I’m the Dreaming Lark.
For the past 30 years I have been a professional mosaic artist. However, change has arrived in various forms and I find myself returning to those heady art college years of the 1980’s where my initial attraction to drawing, painting and print making began. I’m currently working amongst jars of coloured glass whilst the transition takes place. (Watch out for the hairy Lino monster coming tumbling through the dark!)
I’m also currently studying for an MA in poetics of the imagination at Dartington Schumacher college of arts, which is rather like taking a large dose of spiritual magic at Hogwarts, and is a very exciting place to be. 
I also look after my aging dad which isn’t quite so magical but very real and necessary. 
I was born and raised in Devon, and I raised my children here, then left and lived in Somerset for 22 years. I returned to Devon in 2020 and came to realise this is where my heart lies.
I hope you’ll enjoy my journey and browse my work which is inspired and infused with the stories and landscape of Dartmoor and the South West coast.
