KATE FLORENCE

What gets you up in the morning?

Depends how i’m feeling, it’s usually coffee, and the excitement of the fact I’m living a life I love and am excited to get on with my day of creating!

Who’s your favourite living artist?

It's impossible to choose one, I have so many. I love Grayson Perry, and performance artist Marina Abramović and right now I'm obsessing over the dutch painter Peggy Kuiper.

Whats your star sign?

I am a cancer sun, Leo rising and Capricorn moon. This is a combination I love, my cancer sun means I’m soft and sensitive, I wear my emotions on my sleeve, I feel it deeply then I move on (or try to lol). Cancers are naturally very nurturing and hospitable, I love caring for people and cooking for my loved ones.

I wear my emotions on my sleeve, I feel it deeply then I move on

My Leo rising is my very extroverted side, where my loud bubbly and fiery side can be found. My Capricorn moon is my work ethic, I am very driven and hard working and love to get shit done! Sometimes it’s great and sometimes I need to know when to stop and let myself rest, I have very high expectations for myself.

What really makes you happy?

FOOOOD, most of all sitting down to eat with my nearest and dearest humans, cooking is another creative outlet and expression for me and I can never be bored of eating.

What’s the strangest job you’ve ever had?

It was back home in the UK when I was 15, I used to be driven out into a field and left in a trailer to scoop ice cream for people walking their dogs.

I would sit there for 8 hours until someone came to collect me, i used to feed cones to the donkey and horses who would be walking past, at the time it felt totally normal, but now it feels hilarious.

I am very driven and hard working and love to get shit done!
