About Me

20180817_081958.png

Hello 👋

I'm Katie, and I'm so glad you're here.

I founded my wildlife art business in 2016 after exhibiting a small collection of charcoal drawings at Beretta Gallery in London. What began as an unexpected opportunity, quickly became a career when three drawings sold on opening night. It was the moment I realised there was a place for my work and a story I wanted to keep telling.

A decade later, charcoal remains at the heart of everything I create. While many artists shy away from its unpredictability, I've come to love the qualities that make it so unique - the movement of the dust, the richness of its blacks, and the way light emerges simply by preserving the white of the paper. It has become my signature medium.

My work is shaped by time spent in the field. As a wildlife photographer, I capture many of the animals that later become drawings, allowing me to study their behaviour, movement and character first-hand. I also spend time deer stalking, on shoot days and immersed in the landscapes that inspire my work. Those experiences give each piece a depth that goes beyond simply working from a photograph.

Whether I'm watching a roe buck at first light in Norfolk, photographing a day's shooting in Wales or travelling further afield in search of wildlife, my aim is always the same: to create artwork that reflects an authentic connection with the natural world.

 

Alongside my original charcoal drawings, I continue to develop new collections, undertake private commissions and document fieldsports through photography. Every frame is handcrafted by my Dad... something that has become a special part of the business and ensures each finished piece receives the same care and attention from start to finish.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I hope my work brings you a little closer to the wildlife and landscapes we value so deeply. If you have a project in mind or would simply like to talk about the work, I'd love to hear from you.

Katie
