Hello!

Kate Cronk is an illustrator and calligrapher based on the beautiful Kent coast. With a lifelong passion for stationery and a deep love of colour, painting, and nature, Kate brought her creative vision to life in 2014 when she founded her own studio, Peggy & Kate.

Inspired by quiet moments of joy and a collector’s eye for detail, Kate approaches her work much like a gardener tending to seeds, she gathers memories and nostalgia, to create charming, story-filled cards, prints and wrapping paper. Each piece she creates reflects a gentle celebration of the small, meaningful moments that make life special. Her cards are adored by introverts across the UK, often being framed after they have been received. Through her art, Kate invites you to slow down, remember, celebrate your loved ones, and find beauty in the everyday.

Originally trained in weaving at Central St Martins, in her spare time she enjoys swimming in the sea and knitting matching jumpers for her and her daughter.

Kate also works on creative commissions and collaborations. For more information, please get in touch
