Copper Zebra

A zebra’s head emerges in vivid conttast, its distinctive stripes rendered with bold energy against a background that dissolves into warm, complex layers of copper, rust, rose, and ochre. The animal’s presence is both graphically striking and atmospheric, captured in mixed media that allows colour to flow and blend around the creature’s particular form. It’s a painting that celebrates the zebra’s iconic beauty while holding it within a landscape of shifting, luminous colour.

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.
