Katherine's art education finished last year with her completion of a BA (hons) in 'Theory and Practise in Visual Art' at Chelsea College of Art, for which she was awarded a first class degree.

Since her graduation from Bath College of Higher Education with a BA (hons) in Fine Art, Katherine has exhibited her pieces across the country. Her work has been shown at the Glasgow Art Fair, the Battersea Art Fair and the Affordable Art Fair both in Bristol.

Katherine explains that, 'my predominant interests lie in a strong involvement with colour, in the qualities of paint application and in the spaces and forms created on the surface of a canvas. My work is about the process of creating a painting; my engagement with my materials, the beauty of colour, the layering of mark making and a study into the passage of time, through the history of making a painting. Chance occurrences that happen while painting, the traces of lines and marks, the freedom of brushstrokes and the random blurring of paint - all these elements work alongside the considered placement of colour and contribute to the creation of my paintings and the narratives which they thereby create. My aim is to achieve a play of balance, depth and surface texture to create rich and inviting paintings'.
