A mother leopard stands alert, her spotted coat rendered with meticulous grace, while two cubs huddle beneath her — a portrait of fierce protection wrapped in warm earth tones. Simpson captures the animals with anatomical accuracy, yet suspends them in soft, atmospheric colour that feels almost dreamlike. It’s a painting about guardianship and vulnerability, about the wild mothers who hold their young against an uncertain 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.
