Curated by Davina Barber & Laura Lopes
Kathryn studied printmaking at Brighton University, including a six month residency at the Muse Gallery on Portobello Road, before completing The Drawing Year at The Royal Drawing School in 2013. Kathryn won the 2014 and 2016 Sunday Times Watercolour Competition. Kathryn exhibited in ‘Betweenlands’ hosted by Blain Southern in 2014 and at the Marmite Painting Prize, Beers Gallery, Jerwood Drawing Prize, Lynn-Stainers Prize, Art for Youth Selfridges installation, 48hrs Brick Cube Project and at Christie’s International for The Best of The Drawing Year 2012-13.
Kathryn is currently living and working in Brixton, London, in a lovely shed on her roof, saying: ‘The fortuitous, everyday, things that I notice and time spent in India and most recently California stimulate ideas for paintings. The natural world and how it contrasts with man-made structures plays an important part in my work. I work from memory, photographs, and drawings. My paintings often come together like a collage- with the motif emerging from filtered shapes and bursts of colour. Working with spillages, unplanned gestures and openness the subject continually evolves- I find this really exciting.’
