Katharine Wheeler is an internationally exhibited Glasgow based artist. Her paintings, mainly figurative, use pixelated blocks of colour to create a highly tactile surface from which the subject is sculpted out of. Her work explores the strong contrast that light can play across the form, bleaching out sections and creating a rich depth of colour. Although very representational, anatomically accurate, Katharine manages to capture the unpolished feeling of a piece as a work in progress rather than just a finished product, the thoughts of her figures brought to life. As a result her pieces have been highly commended as achieving a real depth of character of those she chooses to depict.
