About

 

Hi!  I’m Katy — an artist based in Edinburgh, working from my little garden studio by the sea. I paint with acrylics, building up layers of colour to explore atmosphere, light, and the emotional feel of a place. A lot of my work is inspired by landscapes — especially those moments when light moves across the land and sky, changing everything.

I’m drawn to colour everywhere: in fashion, old tiles, print design, or just how sunlight hits a wall. That mix of influences shows up in my paintings, which are bold but (hopefully) thoughtful too. I tend to work in collections, letting each piece stand on its own while still speaking to the others.

I originally trained in print at Central Saint Martins, but after years focused on raising four kids, it was lockdown that brought me back to painting. I started sharing my work online and things slowly grew from there — with collectors, exhibitions, and the joy of making art becoming part of daily life again.

Since then, I’ve shown work across Scotland — at places like the RSA in Edinburgh, Dalkeith Palace, and Gleneagles Townhouse (where I had my first solo show). I even got to paint a Porsche for TAG Heuer, which was wildly fun and surreal. These days, my work is available through galleries and directly here on my website.

I would love for you to join me on this creative journey. Follow along by joining me on Instagram where I post regularly or send me an Email for any more info or just to say hi!

If you would like a commission please get in touch, I would love to work alongside you and create something perfect for your home. Alternatively keep an eye out on my website and Instagram for new work.

Thanks for stopping by my website
