Katty McMurray
Katty works from her studio in Brighton and enjoys regular solo exhibitions in London and the South of England. She graduated from Chelsea School of Art in 1991 and travels often, filling her sketchbooks with records of shapes, lines and colours to turn into her characteristic paintings and prints.
"I draw inspiration from many locations around the world, including Europe, Cuba, the Far East and most recently Zanzibar and Tanzania. During the course of my travels I record shapes, lines and colours in sketch format. Back at the studio I use them as the basis for paintings in oil on canvas and more recently limited edition screenprints. I have discovered screenprint to be a fascinating yet strikingly different medium of working with my sketches, working in layers of colour creates a divergent but vibrant quality."
