the artist

Kate Mayer is a contemporary abstract artist whose vibrant, expressive paintings transform emotion into movement and colour. Often beginning with sound or atmosphere, she translates feeling into dynamic compositions that capture rhythm and energy. A long-term resident of Waltham Forest, Kate’s creative journey is intertwined with the borough’s spirit – its openness, nature, and community. Her work seeks to uplift and inspire, creating visual spaces that invite reflection and a sense of calm vitality. Each painting feels like an energetic field – alive, luminous, and deeply human.

the story

‘Be Happiness’ expresses Kate’s vision of a joyful life in Waltham Forest – where calm and vibrancy coexist. The artwork blends the soothing presence of nature with flashes of energy from chance meetings, local events, and moments of connection that brighten everyday life. A sweeping loop of white paint ties these experiences together, symbolising the bonds that unite the community. Through colour and movement, Kate captures the harmony between tranquillity and vitality – a celebration of the simple, shared happiness that defines this place.
