Kat Newman is a contemporary British abstract artist based in Milton Keynes.
Kat is a self taught painter who discovered painting in her early thirties as a way to express the many things she couldn't put into words.
Encouraged by her therapist, Kat utilised the pandemic lockdowns to explore different creative mediums. Kat finally settled on painting with acrylics on cotton canvas as she was attracted to their vibrancy, zest, and resilience.
Kat describes her work as an exhilarating dance between calm and chaos, which she feels is an authentic expression of her inner world.
To this end, Kat uses lines from poetry she has written as the titles of her artwork:
"I want my work to really resonate and connect with the viewer, and I hope the intimacy of the titles I choose for each piece give a window into what was happening for me at the time of their creation".
