Turquoise and green marks flicker around it, creating a tension between botanical precision and pure colour — a celebration of the flower’s wild beauty held in a moment of full bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatie 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitengela Hot Glass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48674531279104,"sku":null,"price":40000.0,"currency_code":"KES","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2279\/9925\/files\/IMG-3317.jpg?v=1777815311","url":"https:\/\/www.kitengela.glass\/products\/painting-katie-simpson-ochre-leopard-mixed-media-on-paper-framed-behind-glass-57cm-x-71cm-2026-copy","provider":"Kitengela Glass","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
