Two cheetahs sit upright and alert, their spotted coats rendered with meticulous detail in cream, ochre, and black against a soft grey ground. Their faces are turned slightly away, caught in a moment of watchful repose - a portrait of grace and restrained power that captures the cats’ particular presence even as their bodies dissolve into gestural marks, suggesting both solidity and the fragility of their existence.
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.
