Originally from North West London, I studied at Harrow School of Art. In 1988 I moved to sunny Silsden, teaching art at Keighley College and as a visiting artist in schools.

I acquired an allotment plot 10 years ago and began a one sided "relationship" with the birds that visit the plot. This has led to a fascination for birds - songbirds, moorland birds, tropical birds - the source material is endless.

North Yorkshire based, Katrina has been developing her skills in acrylic and mixed media for the last year.

Originally a graphite and coloured pencil artist, she has blended her background as an architectural technologist, with a passion for detail, and her love of vibrant colour.

Her work is heavily influenced by contemporary Spanish art, Colour Field painting and the Op Art movement. In particular, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Bridget Riley and Frank Stella. Not wanting to be confined to one genre, Katrina's work can be identified by impasto palette knife strokes with a range of colours designed to stimulate the eye and imagination

Based in Haworth, I live and work in an old West Yorkshire textile mill building called Damside Mill. Our gallery and my studio are open to visitors by appointment or periodically for exhibitions.

I predominantly work with paint and clay. I think of my ceramic vessels as 3D abstract paintings. They are hand built, layered with slips, oxides and glazes. When fired they evolve to become an object that may have been weathered or forged by the environment.

I use oil paint, often over or with different mixed media materials, on wood, paper and canvas.

There are moments when you look at something - a bird with its twisting body, a landscape full of contrast or the passing of the seasons, a face showing life’s journey and the passing of time. Whether it is awe, peace, joy, interest or curiosity these are the moments that inspire me.
