L E H A R D Y (b.1981) graduated from a fine art degree in Bristol in 2003.

Since then she has been regularly showing her paintings in London and throughout the UK. She has become established painting contemporary beach scenes based on locations in the West Country and Scotland.

AT H A R I N E

More recently she has been focussing on the more structured landscape of woodland and particularly the effect of light through the trees. These paintings maintain her distinctive painterly style.

Working from sketches and photographs loosely based on definite locations, Katharine endeavours to create a window on an imaginary space. She likes to use gestural marks and loose brushwork to engage the viewer and charge the composition with movement and dynamism, whilst still maintaining balance, building up the paint and alternating transparent and opaque layers, dripping, washing, splashing, allowing it to take its own fluid course and give the image a life of its own.

This is Katharine’s first solo show with Cricket Fine Art.
