Kathy Thomson

Biography
Coastal Walk
Coastal Walk
"I like to wrestle with ideas, composition and paint, slowly revealing the elements that hold everything together."

Kathy trained in Art & Design and Education in the 1970s and, on visiting the Graham Sutherland collection at Picton Castle in 1978, fell in love with the ancient landscape of the St David’s peninsula. After a long career teaching special needs children in Kent, while exhibiting locally and taking part in South East Open Studios, she moved permanently to North Pembrokeshire in 2017. Her painting practice begins with walking, observing, and sketching, developing into semi-abstract, studio-based responses to estuary, mountain, and coastal landscapes. Working mainly in oils, she builds layered, expressive surfaces that explore memory, atmosphere, and the shifting character of place. From her studio overlooking Carn Ingli in the Preseli Hills, she creates work that embraces risk, revision, and intuitive change. For her, painting is pleasure, joy, energy, struggle, battle, doing and undoing, continually renewing her engagement with the landscapes she loves.
