Katie James

Katie’s passion for painting started as a school girl. She went on to study at Camberwell and Central St Martin’s Schools of Art in London and more recently with The Tite Street Group under the tuition of Paul Gildea, NEAC Always working directly from life, Katie has developed a confident painterly style and her use of vibrant colour has been much admired. Her technique achieves the likeness of her subjects with a mixture of bold strokes and ones of delicate sensitivity. Whether painting in the calmness of a studio or experiencing the thrill of painting outdoors, Katie has an emotional response to colour and form and expresses herself with the joy of the moment which shines through her paintings. All Katie’s paintings are in oil and are often framed in one off antique frames from the Charles Daggett Gallery.
