Artist statement:
Katie looks for all the hidden little details and colours found on insects, birds and other nature. The hairy legs of a bee or the amazing jewel - like colours hidden in a starling until the light shines on it in just the right way. She then draws these intricacies with a super sharp pencil and her watercolours. These drawings are just the starting point for her work. They stand alone but are also used to create silk screen prints. This enables Katie to play with bold blocks of colour for a more graphic interpretation.
Finally, Katie uses the drawings to turn into patterns which she has digitally printed onto a variety of fabrics to use for making a range of homeware and accessories. |
Address:
4 Balgonie Place Markinch KY7 6AB Website and Shop: https://www.katiebirdie.com/shop Social Media Links: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest Access: One very small step into the studio. The street is very narrow and not fun to drive up. There is also limited parking so best to park on the high street at the top of the road or in the town car park at the bottom of the road and walk from here. It is only a few minutes walk from either location. |
