about my work
katherine palmers-needham loves the excitement of making paint sing and play.
from her studio by the sea in scotland she has established a reputation for fluency in colour, mark making and surface textures.
in 2003 katherine graduated from chelsea college of art with a first class honours degree. since leaving chelsea katherine has exhibited in a number of group shows and exhibitions in and around britain. she has also had a range of commissions from large installations for major corporate clients, such as grosvenor house hotel on park lane and fujitsu's headquarters in london, to intricate pieces for private homes in europe, america and london.
katherine's technique is to build up layers of colour with translucent glazes, mixing her pigments with specialist oil mediums for varying effects; the joy of mixing paint, applying paint, building up layers, and scraping them away are what inspire her.
