Katie Wyatt paints impressionist, highly textured landscapes, seascapes and botanical pieces. Her works are textural and layered, painted with brushes and built with palette knives to create paintings that are almost sculptural, inviting viewers to feel connected to the work.
Her paintings are energetic, honest pieces that viewers can enjoy hanging on their walls at home. To be hung in someone’s home is a privilege, something she finds a lot of satisfaction in.
Katie’s landscape works are pared back to show the outlines of forms with the sky and horizon levelling the design, to hold the eye. Thick swathes of paint define the features of the Australian landscapes, which are painted from memory and recollection. Her botanical pieces are created with lavish amounts of paint in warm or cool colour palettes. The transience of flowers is one of Katie’s deep loves and she finds a lot of satisfaction in the challenge of capturing their form and beauty.
