Elephants of Reteti

 A herd of elephants moves through a landscape of rust, ochre, and sage, their forms rendered in warm greys and creams against layered, atmospheric washes. The animals emerge from rocky terrain and sparse vegetation with quiet dignity, their presence both monumental and tender - a painting that honours these giants while bearing witness to their vulnerability in an ever-changing 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.
