About

page2_1

My name is Kate England and I make art and design icons and wallpapers in my studio in Stockholm, Sweden. My art is a tactile expression of my love for colours, bold, modern shapes and simplicity. In my art I capture fleeting moments of everyday beauty, like making golden marmalade with sun-soaked oranges to lift my spirits on a darker day.

My Story

I thought I’d found the perfect job. It was both intellectual and creative and gave my Renaissance soul space for growth and evolution. I could combine and develop my interest for art, design, writing, languages and sound whilst learning the latest technologies for expressing yourself.

I was doing creative work on a generic, sterile office computer running Windows and I thought “Does my computer desktop environment really have to be this ugly and boring? Why can’t it be beautiful, personal and inspiring and yet functional?”. So I learned how to design icons and wallpapers and in 1997 I founded Marmalade Moon as an expression for my romance with digital art.

When the radio station I worked at was hit by cutback after cutback, and job security faded, I made the leap and started my own creative business. In 2001 I opened a studio in Fredhäll, the Beverly Hills of Stockholm, from where I provide design services for clients all over the world.

Mission Statement

My mission is to help people find beauty, ease and inspiration in their lives and to dream, create and believe. I catch fleeting moments of expressive beauty, thoughtfulness and inspiration, transmitting a rich and intense joy for day to day life and share them with you in my art and writings.

I help people create beautiful, simple desktops that help you get unstuck and organized so you can work with flow and ease through the day.

Marmalade Moon is the logbook for my creative journey, on my blog I hope to inspire you to be perceptive to everyday beauty and to follow your dreams.
