I'm Kat Rose (they/them), a multidisciplinary freelance illustrator, illustration graduate from Leeds Arts University, trainee Arts Lecturer and Creative Arts & Media Technician at Shipley College. Studio Greenly is the eco collective I founded and creatively direct. We collaborate on creative projects and host local events in the Leeds/Bradford area. Check out my zines which are stocked at Good Press, Glasgow. My prints are also stocked at Giddy Arts, Saltaire.

I work with themes of nature, the environment and activism, with a particular focus on plants, animals and fungi - you can often find me foraging in the woods! My work is textile and print based, striving to use eco friendly and vegan materials wherever possible. I have recently been fascinated by ceramics and I am exploring this medium using Buff Stoneware, APC and recycled clay. I am a proud studio holder at Yarn Studios in Shipley!

In my spare time, I enjoy foraging for mushrooms and baking yummy vegan treats. I (sometimes!) stream on Twitch (shroomiekat).

Contact

Got a project you’d like me to work on? Collaborative opportunities? Workshops to host? Anything mushroom related? - Send me an email !! katroseillustration@gmail.com
