Collection: Kate Longmaid

Kate Longmaid is a contemporary painter whose work spans portraiture, still life, and landscape, grounded in close observation and a refined sense of intimacy. Working in oil and acrylic gouache, she captures moments that feel immediate and quietly expressive.

Her paintings explore the relationship between seeing and being seen—whether through the presence of a figure, the fleeting beauty of a still life, or the subtle imprint of human life within the landscape. Drawn to subjects that are often ephemeral, Longmaid distills each scene to its essential elements, creating compositions that feel both personal and universal.

With a focus on light, color, and atmosphere, her work invites a pause—offering a sense of stillness and reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the quiet, passing moments that shape our experience.
