Biography
Inspired by the stunning Jurassic coastline and the rolling hills of Somerset and Dorset, Katie Brent works expressively with a variety of mediums: oils, acrylic, mixed media and aquatint printing. First taking photographs, or sketching directly ‘en situ’ to depict a particular moment in time and atmosphere. Upon completing a degree in graphic design and illustration at Central St Martin's School of Art and Design, and then a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, Katie worked as an artist and muralist in London; then as a freelance artist for an art consultancy, her commissions featuring around the globe. Katie now lives in Somerset, close to the borders of Doreset and Devon.
Artist Statement
More recently Katie has been inspired by botanical scenes in her garden and the splendour of the Hauser and Wirth garden in Bruton, designed by Piet Oudolf: “I am drawn to the wonder of nature that surrounds me, I never tire of it, and seek to capture the atmosphere and splendour of it. It is a constant source of inspiration.”
