Katie Pumphrey

Katie Pumphrey’s work explores the tension between movement and stillness. With turbulent brushstrokes on paper and canvas, and the suggestion of imagery or reference of space, her work examines themes of confrontation, reflex, territory, and instinct. Katie is also a long distance, open water swimmer—who swam the English Channel in 2015. This aspect of her life often influences and drives her work.
