Katy works from her art barn in Northamptonshire. Her paintings are often mixed media where she combines collage, acrylic paint, acrylic inks and printed elements on wood panel, canvas or high quality paper.
She often makes her own gelli printed papers which form a patterned layer under her work, which may peep through.
Design, composition and texture of a painting are very important to Katy. She often used a limited colour palette to interpret her ideas. Her mixed media pieces including collage are sometimes specially sealed and are framed without glass so the surface texture is more visible.
Katy has won awards for her art and in September was awarded’ Highly Commmended’ for her painting at the Network Arts Exhibition ition in Wellingborough. Katy is a member of the exhibits her work regularly at the Eagle Gallery Artist Cooperative in Bedford. Katy has recently been voted an Associate member of Northampton Town and County Art Society. She also exhibits in shows and exhibitions in Northamptonshire and Hertfordshire. Katy’s painting ‘Flora and Lemons’, was chosen for the poster for the Yardley Arts Centre exhibition in July 2022.
