The Shimmering Shores Collection - Original Paintings from Dorset Artist Kate Shephard

Dorset in monochrome and gold. The Shimmering Shores collection brings together a series of original paintings inspired by the extraordinary coastline I've called home for years — the still bays, the ancient rocky shores, the soft silhouettes of the Purbeck Hills dissolving into pale skies.

Each painting is created in oils on canvas in a deliberately restrained palette of soft greys, muted blues and warm neutrals, accented with gold powder — a specialist material that catches and moves with light in a way that ordinary paint simply cannot. As the light in your room changes throughout the day, so does the painting. Every piece in this collection is a one of a kind original, painted entirely by hand in my studio on the Dorset coast.
