Kathryn Sillince

Kathryn Sillince is a prolific botanical and abstract painter based at the edge of the Peak District, in England.

Through rich, saturated hues, she champions summer and escapism, exploring how we remember joy and our happiest moments. What would that look like? Through her idealistic lens, the pleasure and work proportions of life are reversed.

Landscapes burst with freedom, merging nostalgia with fantasy. An unabashed celebration of life and nature in all its glory. Lazy languid afternoons and crickets at dusk.

Her immersive compositions invite you to heal in the wonders of nature, and become uplifted and lost for a while amongst the flora, or in the rich colours of her abstracts.

“Flowers are so incredible to paint, don't get me wrong, but I think there's something so special about leaves, because all plants start with leaves, so many beautiful varieties never get to flower, and those deserve to be celebrated too.
In my botanical work, I love to showcase and exaggerate the beauty and complexity of botanical forms, through life-affirming zany colour combinations and my favourite signature techniques, merging impasto and fine detailing.”
