Katie Ruth Jackson

My work is shaped as much by memory and atmosphere as it is by form. I draw from moments, memories, places, and emotional undercurrents, allowing mood to lead the process rather than outcome. There is rarely a fixed destination; each piece evolves through exploration, with many iterations existing only as part of that journey.

Working primarily with watercolour and oil pastel, I occasionally introduce ink, gouache, and acrylic—layering materials in a way that mirrors the shifting nature of thought and feeling. The figures I paint are not portraits in the traditional sense, but symbolic forms, echoes of people known, imagined, or felt. They exist somewhere between memory and emotion, offering a space for interpretation rather than definition.
