Two elephants stand close in quiet companionship, their massive heads rendered with anatomical precision in greys and creams. The painting captures the animals’ particular presence, the texture of their skin, the thoughtful gaze of the nearer elephant, all suspended within warm washes of rust, ochre, and gold. It’s a meditation on connection & tenderness between these earth giants, held in colour that feels both monumental and intimately tender.
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.
