Katie Moore is a London-based artist working with clay and paint. She discovered her preferred way of making while working remotely in a makeshift studio, where the freedom of coiling by hand allowed space for reflection and experimentation.
Drawing on a background in illustration and an ongoing interest in stage sets and landscapes, Katie conceives each piece as both vessel and prop. Sketches - made by hand and digitally - form the basis for her painted works, which she develops through layers of underglaze and slip in a process she describes as ‘an ongoing experiment’.
Her practice now extends beyond clay to include painting, continuing her exploration of colour and composition. Katie’s sculptures and paintings are exhibited and sold through small galleries in the South West UK and Los Angeles.
