A rhino’s massive head is rendered with tenderness against warm washes of ochre and rose, its gaze downward in quiet repose. The animal emerges from soft, gestural brushwork that dissolves the boundary between portrait and landscape - a painting about the earth’s giants and their fragility.
Katie Simpson is a Kenyan painter whose work is an act of witness to the animals, landscapes, and fragile ecologies that shaped her from childhood. Combining ancient techniques with contemporary paint effects, she gives pigments freedom to roam the canvas,  capturing wildlife in fleeting, abstracted moments that feel both luminous and urgent. Trained at Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence and created in her Nanyuki studio, her work is driven by a deep belief in the fragility of the natural world  and the power of colour to bear witness to it.
