A Celebration of Art & Creativity

On Saturday 10th October, we welcomed visitors to KATA Jewellery & Gallery in Royal Tunbridge Wells for a special Meet the Artists afternoon, celebrating our Autumn/Winter exhibition featuring Heidi Langridge and Caroline Martin.

The event brought together artists, art lovers and our local community for an afternoon of creativity and conversation. Guests had the opportunity to meet the artists, discover the inspiration and techniques behind their work and experience the exhibition in a more personal way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon such a special occasion.

East Sussex-based artist Caroline Martin creates expressive abstract paintings inspired by the movement, colours and textures of the natural world.

Working intuitively with layers of paint, ink and mixed media, Caroline’s artwork captures a sense of energy, atmosphere and calm.

Our Meet the Artists afternoon offered visitors the chance to learn more about Caroline’s creative approach, her use of materials and the role of music and movement in bringing her compositions to life.
