Kate Frost is a surface pattern designer and artist based in the Somerset countryside, UK. She creates story-led collections through painting, sketching, and block printing, which she digitises into production-ready patterns for fabric, wallpaper, home decor, stationery, and giftware. Her portfolio is offered for licensing and she sells print-on-demand designs through Spoonflower.
Kate's aesthetic is country-natural-Somerset landscape, seasonal botanical observation, and biomorphic forms rendered with expressive, hand-crafted detail. The portfolio features textural all-over repeats and organic botanical motifs with warm, earthy palettes. She describes her work as blending timeless elegance with modern freshness, and positions it explicitly as story-led rather than trend-driven.
Multi-medium practice: painting, sketching, and block printing, with artwork digitised into seamless repeats. Uses her own nature photography alongside direct observational drawing. Delivers licensable pattern files and sells digitally on Spoonflower.
Target markets: wallpaper, fabric and textiles (interiors, apparel, quilting), stationery and giftware, and home decor (cushions, bedding, soft furnishings). No documented licensing clients at this stage. Open to collaboration with brands seeking elegant hand-crafted collections.
Grew up in South London and worked in financial services in her twenties before travelling through Thailand and living in Australia. She and her husband settled in Somerset, where caring for an autistic son led her to yoga and meditation practice. She returned to art-making in 2020; a hand-painted mandala sold at the Black Swan Arts gallery in Frome that same year. She subsequently discovered digital surface pattern design and has built a licensable collection practice drawing on Somerset's landscape and seasonal rhythms.
Story-led botanical and textural repeat patterns. The portfolio features organic, nature-derived designs with tactile painted surfaces. Work spans botanical all-overs, textural field designs, and country-inspired motifs suited to wallpaper and home decor licensing.
