Our Founder, Kate Roberts, has been creating art for 30 years. Her artistic name is "Katmondo" which is "Kate's World' in Italian, her favorite language and country. Many a piece has sprung from her vast travels throughout Europe and her birthplace in the UK.

Her journey has taken her to more than 110 countries often traveling with influencers such as Bono, Ashley Judd, Debra Messing, Mandy Moore, Clinton, Will Iam, Melinda Gates and The Crown Princess of Norway. Her advocacy trips have helped to find solutions and funding for women's issues such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, access to reproductive and maternal health and to end domestic violence. Kate is a strong believer in women's empowerment and along the way has created organizations to tackle these issues, such as YouthAIDS, Five and Alive, Maverick Collective and more recently The Body Agency.

From these travels comes a piece of art, often forged from an old sack or trinket found in a market or slum dwelling telling a sometimes harrowing story. Her latest work series, "Birds, Bush and Butterflies" highlights incredible women that she has come across from countries such as Saudi Arabia, India, Romania, Ukraine, Tanzania, Russia and Central America.
