" A whimsical sense of life and nature are expressed with remarkable artistic facility in the work of Kate Gillery." Kate was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Some are born with a green thumb, she inherited an aptitude for art. As she matured, so did her talents. The self taught artist moved to Massachusetts with her family in the early 80's and commenced her career by teaching herself to paint using watercolor. By sketching & painting she increased her awareness of the detailed world around her and to see with an artists eye. Several years later, Kate returned to Pittsburgh, where she debuted her artwork with the opening of Briar Cottage Studio. During the interim, Kate's designs were well received in the northeast, her unique style quickly spread to other regions of the country. "It was always a dream of mine to make my artwork a career. What a wonderful feeling, to know that my art touches people's lives daily." The Tribune Review stated that "Hand painted furnishings are hot. and Gillery is among a number of area artisans creating such keepsakes. She enjoys ,making heirlooms of everything from old rockers to radio cabinets." I would like to thank all my costumers for without you, Briar Cottage would only be a dream!
