Crimson Evening

Three wild dogs move through a landscape ablaze with colour: crimsons, pinks & golds swirling overhead in a sky that feels almost dreamlike. The animals are rendered with meticulous detail, their alert faces and slender forms anchoring the composition, while the background dissolves into gestural washes that suggest both atmosphere and emotion. It’s a painting that captures the wild beauty of these endangered creatures within a moment of profound, almost magical light.

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.
