Two painted dogs stand alert in a vast landscape dominated by an ultramarine sky and distant mountains rendered in soft blues and golds. The animals emerge in browns and creams against warm, atmospheric grounds, their slender forms both present and ethereal. It’s a painting about wildness and space: the dogs’ watchfulness held within the immensity of the landscape, a meditation on solitude and belonging in the natural world.

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.
