"Katie grew up in Germany�s Ruhrgebiet, an area marked by remnants of industrial structures scattered throughout the landscape. She believes this sparked her interest into the visual histories of urban spaces. Her exploration of local architecture in East London, led to her love for the abstract forms found in modernist playground design.

Through her practice, she aims to create her own 'playgrounds.' Working with both digital and analogue drawing techniques, Katie generates imaginary shapes, structures, and landscapes. While her hand-drawn work tends to have an organic quality, her digital pieces often derive from isometric grids and exist in a detached digital realm.
Within her work, Katie likes to experiment with the visual language of form, space, and colour. She views the act of image construction as a method of play.

A recurring approach in her artistic process involves exploring the relationship between traditional printmaking and digital technologies. The hand printed process is integral in allowing the work to transcend its two-dimensional nature, and become part of our physical surroundings.

Katie hopes to evoke a sense of familiarity and connection to our everyday environments, inviting viewers to contemplate their inherent beauty and peculiarities."
