Katherine Sutherland - ‘Pulp Fiction’

Framed: 53cm x 63cm

Oil and collage

Kathy Sutherland took an interest in Art from a very young age. She felt more at home in the Art department than anywhere else in the school. This love of the Arts continued throughout her nurse training in Edinburgh – where she found herself spending more time in art galleries than in the lecture theatre.

In 2014, she took a leap of faith and concentrated on painting full-time.
Today Kathy is an award winning highland artist who enjoys the daily challenge of devoting her time to a profession she loves .
Kathy tries not to be afraid of failure and approaches each work with vigour and passion, not restricting herself to one medium. Kathy’s paintings are greatly influenced by the Scottish Colourists, and the Impressionists; in particular Paul Cèzanne. 
Kathy’s oil paintings are an emotional response to what she sees in the natural landscape – a poetic expression, a state of mind, rather than a photographic copy of nature.

Kathy’s watercolours visually describe a sense of place both imagined and visited. They create connectivity through the use of colours and shapes. Her watercolour sketchbooks are a visual diary celebrating the beauty and peace found in nature.
