Biography
Katy was born in Bristol in 1977, and grew up in the nearby
town of Thornbury. She now lives in Manchester, where she works
as an artist and writer, in spite of having had no art training
since A level.
Originally, Katy came to Manchester to study English literature,
and a lot of the inspiration for her artwork comes from literary
sources, such as Shakespeare, the Bible and various legends and
mythologies.
Most often Katy works with acrylics, generally using translucent
glazes in layers. This allows her to build up her paintings gradually,
making constant revisions, and also gives greater depth to the final
image. |
