There is an honest simplicity to Katty McMurray’s work. Her ability to evoke the essence of a place or moment through her spontaneous style of sketching and bold oil paintings has attracted a list of collectors from around the world.

Graduating from the Chelsea School of Art (1988-1991) the artist’s early work was inspired by her extensive travels throughout Morocco, Zanzibar, China, Vietnam and Europe and is characterised by the use of intensely rich colour palettes and intricate compositions. Throughout the last decade Katty has drawn inspiration from travels in Europe and closer to home, resulting in a restorative and quieter collection of still lives in situ, and large Vistas.

Katty’s work stems from her spontaneous, continuous clean lines of her drawings. Collaborating with the prestigious silkscreen printers Artizan Editions, over fifty releases of her drawings have been published to date. Katty has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and London Art Fairs, and has been commissioned for several high profile commissions including Great Ormond Street Hospital, The Brighton Festival Poster, The Hoxton Hotel and most recently as an integral part of the new Brighton Hospital.
