Kate Chesters Art

My name is Kate Chesters and I am abstract resin artist living and working in Liverpool. My work fuses contemporary art with home decor. Travelling around the world inspires me: the swirling blues of Niagara falls and the frozen landscape of Reykjavik. I decorate wooden chopping boards, placemats and artworks with resin.

All of my cheese boards, coasters, paintings and other pieces I create in my studio in Liverpool. After making hundreds of artisan boards and abstract artworks over the past year or so, the floor in my studio is absolutely COVERED in resin! I love what I do though, and it’s amazing to know that so many other people do too!

The resin artwork on my artisan boards and coasters is individually created by hand in my studio with a labour of love. I mainly work with olive wood, which is a very beautiful and strong wood. The olive wood that I use is responsible sourced and ethically produced. Only wood from very old olive trees which have come to the end of their natural fruiting life and are replaced with younger trees is used for each artisan board.

Hard wearing and practical, each artisan board is perfect for cutting and preparing food, and stylish enough to leave out when not in use. Each board has it’s own unique grain pattern and natural edge, making it an attractive addition to any kitchen.
