Katy is primarily a felt artist. Her main focus is painting with wool fibres. She has developed her work in wet felting for several years. She also loves to work with other textile forms and acrylic painting. Her work is inspired by the local countryside, the changing seasons and the beauty of the moors, the coast and the teeniest tiny flower.
Katy works in her tiny workshop in her garden, near Wetherby. As it's so tiny, she will be exhibiting in Ailsa's Studio in Bardsey.
