Katie

A friendly and encouraging presence in the studio, Katie fills sessions with her voice, laughter and enthusiasm. Her practice takes many forms, always made with a sense of fun. She especially loves working with fabric, saying, “I love using fabric because I like dressing up people” Rummaging in the scrap textiles box, she assembles thread, fabric, and string into hats, pillows, aprons or sculptures - her favourite piece being “my hat, that I made for Jonathan - to wear it out, to pubs, to the races, for picnics.” Her paintings and drawings are sensitive and playful, responding to the surface with washes of colour and joyful scenes of trees, houses and people. “Any colour! Pink red blue purple. They make me happy.”
