Kate Rebecca Leach is the contemporary artist, author, and surface pattern designer behind UKbased studio Essoldo Design. Reflecting a background in textiles, she blends a love of vibrant watercolour with mixed media elements. Much of her work is inspired by nature, from flowers and greenery, to gemstones & jewels. She’s obsessed with embellishment, so her work often features a myriad of dots and metallic decorations.
Kate has built a community of over 280,000 engaged social media followers, sold her work in more 35 countries worldwide, and licensed products across the UK, Europe, and the USA. Her best-selling book, Creative Abstract Watercolor, is now available in 7 languages, and her second book Creative Abstract Mixed media, has already topped the watercolour book charts. @ESSOLDODESIGN

"This range marries my two greatest loves as an artist: abstract forms and botanical elements. I have always been fascinated by contrast, and here, loose pebble motifs and soft, organic shapes sit alongside angular leaves and elegantly structured florals."

Fabric Blenders
Kate never uses stark white, or true black in her artwork. She always opts for a subtle alternative. Such as a dark navy, or a creamy white. This adds a softness and helps to blend the other colors together, seamlessly. Kate wanted the same options available to makers, which is why she created this beautiful collection of watercolor-style blenders, a perfect coordinating assortment of color for Pebble & Posy, as well as her other collections.
