Katy Barrell

Katy Barrell was raised on a dairy farm high on the North Cornwall Coast.

Whilst teaching in Cleveland, Devon and Powys she continued to paint and exhibit. Her paintings are held in collections in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg, California, Canada and Australia.

The lie of the land, the rhythm of the tides and the stories of place are the visual and lyrical inspiration for her paintings.
