Katie Chaplin paints beautiful women on silk. Her inspiration is taken from many sources including geisha from Kyoto, where she have been fortunate enough to enter their secretive world.
The medium of silk focuses the mind on how to achieve the desired effect – there is no room for error as mistakes cannot be rubbed out or painted over. The effects of the dye on the silk and the resonance of the colours cannot be replicated in any other medium.
