Paintings & Prints
Katie uses a mix of materials in her paintings. Specalising in acrylic and gouache painting, she creates textures with laying paint, oil pastels and charcol.
Building up colours and textures is what Katie loves most, seeing her creations come to life as more is added to the canvas as an expression of thoughts and feelings at the time of painting.
Katie's paintings focus on abstraction. As an artist everything she creates is heavily influences by emotions, music, nature and form. For her sound and colour come hand in hand, with Katie often taking great colour inspiration from music she is listening to at the time of painting.
The natural world and sustainbility is also close to Katie's heart with themes of this flowing through what she creates. Katie works on 100% organic cotton canvas with many other natural influences being hinted at in her work. Either from colour, abstracted landscapes or the human form, the world around us is continually inspiring Katies work and designs.
Printmaking is also a passion of Katie's, especially Lino printing. Creating detailed line worked designs in 1 colour inks is what she loves, usually depicting flowers and nature. She uses her designs on cards, textiles and as prints in their own right. As well as painting onto canvas, Katie also loves to paint onto woodblocks. She combines block coloured painting with the natural gains and textures of the wood to create unique pieces.
