Hi, I'm Katie — a UK-based artist working primarily in paint, with occasional forays into mixed media - when the mood calls for it.

Colour is usually where it begins. My paintings are expressionistic and rooted in the natural world — trying to catch the energy or mood of a place rather than its precise likeness. I'm also heavily influenced by my dreams, which tend to be vivid enough to paint.

Do you like it? Does it spark something positive or interesting? Then that's enough for me.

I live in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside with my 20-year-old tabby, who keeps me company while I work. I also spend a lot of time walking in Richmond Park — somewhere that makes it almost impossible not to be inspired.

I just hope you feel something joyful when you look.
