About Kate Fulford

After graduating in general art and design from Suffolk College in 1991 I started my own business in Southern Spain as a specialist painter working on interior design projects with both businesses and individuals. I was lucky enough to help transform the interiors of Los Naranjos golf club and restaurant and worked closely with many residential private clients and Interior Designers on different sized projects.

After I had made a name for myself in Spain, I headed back to London where I continued to work on specialist painting projects for myself and as part of a team. This included the restoration of the Wellington museum in Apsley House, in conjunction with English Heritage. I also worked as part of a team of painters who recreated the monkey murals at the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados. Interior designers Paolo Moschino and Joanna Wood used my painting skills on various private client projects in London. Other clients included Terry Gilliam and Brian May. I was co-founder of Chiaroscuro London, a specialist painting business which I ran with Dawn Reader for two years. We worked on many high end properties in London and around the UK. It was after working as an assistant for Interior Designer Lizzie Verschoyle on small and large residential properties in London that I decided to retrain at KLC school of Interior Design in Chelsea Harbour, London where I graduated with a diploma in Interior Design. I feel honoured to have been highly commended for the Design Innovation Award, given by Studio Indigo and I was runner up in a design competition for Porta Romana. I was also shortlisted for the Amara competition and featured on their website.
