A pack of painted dogs emerges from dripping washes of terra cotta and cream, their alert faces rendered with meticulous detail while their bodies dissolve into gestural marks and flowing colour. Simpson captures the animals’ particular presence - their watchfulness, their bond - even as they seem to fade into the landscape, a meditation on the fragility and grace of these endangered creatures.
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.
