About Katie Bell

I’ve had a successful career as a designer in London, but since becoming a mother I now paint and design from home, drawing on my commercial experience to work directly with my clients. I pride myself on completing work on time and within budget. My approach is personable, articulate, conscientious and self directed. If you have any projects or opportunities you’d like to discuss, please get in touch.

Whilst graphic design and branding constitute a large proportion of my work, painting portraits and landscapes are a real pleasure. Since becoming a mother it’s been a joy to rediscover painting which I now do to relax.

I love bold colours, so would not necessarily use natural colours but apply ones that I see in my mind, or know would contrast well. I’m excited by the unexpected mark-making that you can get which can enliven a piece. Whether I’m painting a portrait, animal or landscape I’m always trying to capture the essence of my subject. I generally work from photographs.

I am a member of the Guildford Art Society which allows me to exhibit twice a year.
