Katie is an artist based in Market Drayton Shropshire and originally studied Fine Art (BA Hons Degree) at Staffordshire University and went on to complete her MA in Fine Art at UCE Birmingham.
Katie has had her work shown in many group and solo shows, both in the UK and internationally.
Her abstract paintings are vivid, expressionistic compositions, combining metal leaf with colourful acrylics and watercolours.
Many works capture a fleeting moment when light meets land or water. Ideas are derived from Katie’s love of natural landscapes and seascapes. Her works seek to capture fragments of nature’s richest hues, luminous skies and reflected ocean lights both over and underwater.
Moments experienced whilst scuba diving and journeying across both sea and land, are a constant source of inspiration in Katie’s canvas and paper works.
