There she continued to live and work from a studio in Hove.
Moving back to London this year Katie has become a new member of cockpit studios and is now re establishing her self as an artist in London once again.
Being a keen diver and gardener, Katie has consistently drawn influence from the natural world looking particularly at the forms, colour and surface textures of plants, seeds and marine creatures. Her work is predominantly thrown on the wheel and surface detail is carefully added later. “I try to create unique pieces that provoke the curiosity to touch and hold.”
