As a visual artist Kate Steenhauer's work relates to drawings that she makes from life, capturing people absorbed in work and play. 

​

Kate was born and raised in The Netherlands, where she played competitive tennis in her youth. She came to Scotland to do a PhD in Coastal Engineering, but has always been passionate about drawing and after her degree she received private tuition from several well-established artists.

'My practice explores the dynamic and interactive capacity of drawing in dialogue with other artforms and industries. These multi-disciplinary collaborations, such as with dance,  opera, music, verbatim and Artificial Intelligence, can be viewed through the mediums of theatre, audio-visual installation/film and artwork; and is based on (evolving) painterly oriental drawings techniques'.
