Our artist…
Katherine Milns (BA Hons) works from her studio above Brevon Art Gallery in Doncaster. She studied Fine Art at Liverpool Art School, specialised in painting and 2d media and later studied interior and 3d design. She acknowledges the beauty that surrounds us and brings such beauty from the natural world into our homes.
Painting and Photography
Katherine explores light and colour in her painting which is influenced heavily by photography. Intrigued by the beauty of the skies, weather and the natural world, when there is an unusual light in the sky, she finds it hard to put her camera down. Her photographs are predominantly unedited, natural images.
Having captured something special in a photo, she then enjoys working this into a painting. Producing some paintings which are representational, some abstract, always concentrating on colour and beautiful imagery.
Katherine creates great depth in all her work, strongly representing contrasts with the medium of her choice. Accomplished in oils, drawing media, mixed media and watercolour she has vast variety in her work. She is open to influence and ideas from others and therefore continues to change and grow with her skills and painting.
Teaching
Katherine’s teaching is inspirational. She encourages the artist in everyone. Having previously worked for Doncaster Art College, she has an educational approach to learning to paint and draw. She encourages beginners and advanced artists to explore every media and find out what works best for them as individuals. New students soon increase in confidence through the variety in their studies with Katherine. More experienced artists often feel refreshed and re-inspired. She teaches at her class in Doncaster and with individual clients around the South Yorkshire area. She also works with Brevon Art Gallery doing workshops and will soon be doing some Life Drawing classes.
Exhibitions
She has exhibited in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Stans, Switzerland and throughout the north of England. She sells to art collectors in Europe, South Africa, North America and throughout Britain.
