Collection: Katie Hides

My process leads me to create paintings through bold experimentation, each work comprised of vivid colours, textures and layers demonstrating my interaction with the canvas in the moment. 

Informed by my background as a director and creating in the moment with actors the painting for me is a process of discovery…. I start with a concept but more often than not, the work takes me in a completely different direction. 

In preparing for the Three Seeds Exhibition I chose Prussian Blue as my theme and started exploring how and when to use this magnificent colour. Little did I know that it would become the background to a series of gorgeous, re-imagined floral bouquets, starting with interpretation of a surprise bunch of flowers I bought for my gorgeous husband. 

I hope you enjoy all the work featured in the exhibition and look forward to connecting with you and discussing more about these works when you visit.
