She was raised in the New Forest and along the South Coast. As such, her work has evolved naturally to become a celebration of British nature and coastal treasures.
Katy discovered her love for pencil and graphite whilst studying for her degree in Illustration at the Arts University Bournemouth, adoring their simplicity, and ability to produce complex detail and atmosphere.
