Katharine Asher Live Event Drawing

Using a dynamic combination of colour and the ‘inspired mark’, Katharine Asher’s brushwork is fluid and palpitates with movement, her images filled with a creative flair that secures commissions globally and from a wide spectrum of subject areas and media, the fashion and beauty industry in particular. Whilst specialising in figurative illustration, she tackles an extensive range of further subject areas with the same expertise, energy and elegance of line. ‘Exploring ideas through experiment and pigment is a daily pleasure‘ she claims. Away from the studio, Kathy's interests are both rhythmic and creative. Dance has always been part of her life as has rhythm and percussion, and Kathy’s energetic performances in two bands and a dance group are a perfect antidote to many hours spent hunched over a desk. Whilst her private creativity leans towards the conceptual world of ‘process works' and 'installations’, pigment, viscosity and movement are key factors within the work. Echoes and reflections of this personal work are now beginning to emerge in her illustrative practice.
