A painted dog gazes directly outward, its large ears alert and expressive, rendered in luminous greys and creams against warm washes of ochre and dusty rose. The animal’s slender form and amber eyes convey both vulnerability and watchfulness - a portrait of one of Africa’s most endangered predators, captured with tenderness and unflinching clarity.
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.
