The images on this website reflect my real passion and interest in the natural environment. I really respond to Woodland themes and I love painting wildflowers. After completing my Diploma with The Society of Botanical Artists my Illustrations focused even more on plants and habitats. I like painting insects and particularly butterflies which feature a lot in my recent work. I like to include insects that can be found in a particular environment as they add interest and a depth of understanding to a piece.
I have found that I really enjoy working in watercolours and I teach watercolours in Adult Education. I have found in my own work that I really enjoy combining pencil and watercolour and my illustrations are often very delicate in tone . I like working in this way as it reflects the fragility of the environments that I am depicting.
Katherine’s work reflects her passion for nature and creating watercolours and delicate pencil studies of butterflies, ladybirds, bees, birds and plants in their natural, wild habitats. She loves painting wildflowers and teaches workshops on this theme.
Katherine has a warm and friendly approach. She encourages learners to explore watercolours with demonstrations and helpful advice, which supports them on their learning journey with techniques such as wet-on-wet. She enjoys working with learners as they experience the blending of pigments through glazes and washes and encourages them to complete pieces that build confidence in their work.
Contact Katherine if you would like to commission or purchase any work. You could also just say hello!
