Katie Wyatt
Katie enjoys creating paintings that people can connect to. She paints highly textured landscapes and botanical pieces, oil was her first love but acrylic has now become her medium of choice. She uses brushes and palette knives to create paintings that are almost sculptural, inviting viewers to feel connected to the work.
Katie’s landscape works are pared back to show the outlines of forms with the sky and horizon levelling the design, to hold the eye. Thick swathes of acrylic paint define the features of the Australian landscapes, which are painted from memory and recollection.
The transience of flowers is one of Katie’s deep loves so she finds a lot of satisfaction in capturing that. She enjoys the challenge of capturing their form and beauty in a textural, impressionist style. Katie’s graphic design background is also evident through her solid compositions and strong colour contrasts.
