Hello!
Katt is an artist, designer and poet who creates strange and playful works. Her creations explore themes of mischief, mythology, memory, perception, nature, and the interplay between reality and fiction.
She is currently undertaking an AHRC-funded PhD with the University of Portsmouth, in collaboration with Portsmouth Natural History Museum. Her research explores how emerging technologies and co-design can transform engagement with natural history collections in regional museums. Using playful disruption (mischief!) as both method and theme, she is developing a participatory toolkit to support regional museums in crafting interactive meaningful experiences that deepen connections between people, objects, and the more-than-human world.
Katt is interested in the role of storytelling, ritual and symbolism in neurodivergent artists' creative practice, and the concept of the unreliable narrator – a type of mischief. By using both traditional and digital mediums, she creates layered works that evoke multiple senses and interpretations.
She works from Unity Art Studio, a gallery and workspace in Andover for local artists and makers, where she is the resident curator, organising a range of exhibitions and artist talks.
Beyond her art, Katt is a lecturer and creative facilitator with over 15 years of experience in learning and development across art, design, writing and education. She is passionate about demystifying creative and professional practices and making them more accessible and engaging through innovative teaching and learning methodologies. She specialises in combining technology with visual arts, design and poetry to create immersive art and learning experiences.
