Katie Allen-British painter

Katie Allen is an accomplished British artist living in Swansea, Wales. She studied Fine Art Painting at the University of Bath and received her PGCE in Art and Design from Cardiff University. Katie has been painting full time since 2006.

The changing seasons and shadows of her beloved South Wales inspire Katie's work. She translates this landscape into rich patterns, forms and colors. Taken as a whole, her paintings are landscapes and natural forms - trees and plants, insects and birds. But look a little closer and you will see detailed abstract patterns composed of intricate designs and beautiful color harmonies.

A trip to Rajasthan and Lucknow, India in 2006 marked a turning point in Katie's work. She began experimenting with new ways of painting in order to create the exquisite works that are so well known.

"I am deeply influenced by Indian art and architecture, calligraphy, Arabic art, Japanese painting and fabric design. From magnificent palaces decorated with exquisite intricate patterns of gems and mirrors, to exquisite miniature paintings, from the gestural strokes of Oriental calligraphy to 20th century textiles. I strive to capture these qualities in my paintings to create something that is exquisite, evocative, refined and carefully crafted." --Katie Allen
