Kate Rebecca Leach of Essoldo Design

Kate Rebecca Leach is an artist, author, and tutor based in Hertfordshire, UK.
She founded her brand, Essoldo Design, in 2020 and since then has been lucky enough to have built a community of over 225,000 social media followers, sold her work in more 35 countries worldwide, and licensed products across the UK, Europe, and the USA. Her best-selling book, Creative Abstract Watercolor, was published in 2024 and is now available in seven languages. Her second book, Creative Abstract Mixed media, will be published in October 2025.
Her first collection with Windham fabrics comprised of 22 designs available worldwide (now sold out), her second collection ‘Flora & Form’ launches in stores in January 2026.
Much of her work is inspired by nature, from flowers and greenery to gemstones and jewels. She’s obsessed with embellishment (as her jewelery collection will pay testament), so her work often features a myriad of dots, decorations, and most importantly gold!
