Burnt Sienna Nomads

 Three rare wild dogs gaze outward with alert intelligence, their distinctive large ears prominent and expressive. Rendered in burnt siennas, creams, and blacks against warm, atmospheric washes, the animals embody both the wildness and vulnerability of Africa’s nomadic predators - a portrait of kinship & watchfulness captured in colour that feels both earthy and alive.

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.
