Katty McMurray is a graduate of both Epsom and Chelsea Schools of Art. Katty has been painting and exhibiting for over 20 years, her paintings stem from her love of drawing, hundreds of sketches done on location are used as a basis for her paintings, these simple line drawings form the composition of her paintings… the spontaneity of these drawings are what makes Katty's paintings unique.
Different times in life have provided different inspirations…. The early years were spent travelling and sketching far away places… Morocco, Zanzibar, China, Vietnam, various parts of Europe…. Her attention then moved to the UK, in particular the Cornish coastline… here she found a tranquillity which can be seen in much of her more recent work - ever present are the clean lines and a pleasing gentle palate that followers of her work recognise.
Drawing on her love of travel and instilled with her trademark vitality, Katty's art captures the essence of her travels to destinations as far flung as Vietnam and as close to home as Cornwall. Her work has won devotees across the world. Commissions have included the poster for the Brighton Festival and work for a Cunard Cruise Liner.
