Inspired by the ancient pathways, passing livestock and the beautiful colours and forms of trees, lichen and fauna where the artist lives, this exhibition follows a theme of Autumn. Each sculptural piece has been carefully selected to reflect this time of year near Katherine’s Devon Home.

Using willow sourced from Somerset, Katherine also uses foraged items found across the Dartmoor countryside: burnt gorse, dried ivy branches, lichen, and driftwood, for sculptural detailing that helps bring the pieces alive, adding a mystical quality. 

Katherine says, “Creating a sculpture is like life-drawing for me, only instead of using a pencil, I draw with willow. It’s a meditative process that provides me with a sense of peace and well-being. I feel that each sculpture is successful when I start to see the character and spirit of the piece starting to come alive.”

All of the pieces exhibited are for sale.
