Graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1995, Katy was awarded the ‘John Kinross Scholarship’ from the Royal Scottish Academy to paint and study in Italy, followed by the ‘June Stoke Roberts Bursery’ from an open exhibition at the Bankside Gallery in London. She went on to travel through India, Thailand and Laos, which solidified her love of landscape painting. On her return to England she moved from London to Saffron Walden where she began to explore the riverways and towns of the countryside through Cambridgeshire and Essex. After a memorable visit to the ‘Winter Lights’ at Anglesea Abbey Gardens, Katy was inspired by how the lights accentuated the forms and patterns of the Silver Birch branches, these studies led to her working on a tree series. She continues to explore while out walking her dog in nearby forests, fields and waterways, gathering images and inspiration for further work.

The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.
You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.
You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
