View from a Croft 

Katherine Sutherland took an interest in art from a very young age. She felt more at home in the art department than anywhere else in the school. This love of the arts continued throughout her nurse training in Edinburgh – where she found herself spending more time in art galleries than in the lecture theatre. Marriage and motherhood did nothing to lessen her enthusiasm and, in 2014, she took a leap of faith and concentrated on painting full-time. Now she enjoys the daily challenge of devoting her time to a profession she loves . 

 

Kathy’s oil paintings are an emotional response to what she sees in the natural landscape – a poetic expression, a state of mind, rather than a photographic copy of nature. Kathy’s watercolours visually describe a sense of place both imagined and visited. They create connectivity through the use of colours and shapes. Her watercolour sketchbooks are a visual diary celebrating the beauty and peace found in nature.
