Beginning Painting

Katherine Lodge is an English artist who creates abstract, contemporary art. She has studied printmaking at the School Of Visual Arts, NY after an exchange from the UK. There she fell in love with the energy of Manhattan and it’s saturation of the arts. Her tutor, David Sandlin, encouraged her to make silk screens and lithography. This led to a group show in Soho. Returning to London she studied Illustration at the Royal College of Art. She took an exchange to the The Art Institute of Chicago and worked closely with her longtime hero, Jim Nutt. She became obsessed with Chicago taxis and produced a hand printed book of her drawings. For many years Katherine was involved in designing and illustrating Children’s Books. She has illustrated numerous books and has published all over the world. Recently she worked as a designer for Penguin Random House. During the covid epidemic Katherine finally started producing a series of work that has since taken her on a journey to explore her passion of abstract, textural art. She currently lives in the countryside.
