Raw Umber Hunters 

Two wild dogs face forward with keen, watchful intensity, their distinctive ears alert and expressive. Rendered in raw umber, cream, and black against soft, warm grounds, Simpson captures the animals’ particular intelligence and bond - a portrait of these endangered hunters that honours their grace and underscores the fragility of their existence in the wild.

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.
