About the ARTIST

“My inspiration comes from my fascination with the rhythms created by the variety of patterns and textures in nature:  flowers, leaves, clouds, the ocean ... and birds!  The pandemic allowed me the space to observe more closely the birds who share our world. I call my bird images ‘portraits’ because I’m hoping to provide the viewer a more intimate and deeper connection to these magnificent animals. Often we see birds from afar and are not able to appreciate the delicate intricacy of their feathers and their eyes.” 

   Kate Roberts, aka The Wired Woman, is an artist whose images showcase her travels and the local environs in and around her hometown of Santa  

       Cruz, California. Winning her first photography award at age 15, her work has been showcased in solo and group shows, and has been collected in both private and corporate collections. More recently she is combining her love of photography and painting ... painting on top of her photographs with acrylics. These painterly interpretations of her photography offer a vivid color palette that explore the variety of patterns and textures in nature. Her latest foray into doodle art comes out of a deep admiration for abstract and Aboriginal artists.

Kate retired from the corporate world in 2021. With a diverse background in strategic partnerships, business development, sales, and executive leadership, Kate was President & CEO of a regional economic partnership nonprofit, Founder and CEO of a consulting company, and held senior level positions at Cisco Systems, Adaptec, Global Village, and other tech companies.
