Katie Preston

KATIE PRESTON is a printmaker whose screenprinting practice combines technical processes with intuitive mark-making. She studied Maths and Philosophy at university and worked as an editorial director in illustrated non-fiction publishing for 20 years before completing a Foundation art diploma in 2019. She has been screenprinting ever since, always searching for new ways to create her vivid, multi-layered limited edition prints.

Starting with photographs of the world around her in London, Katie’s prints create a technicolour version of everyday life, from trees, paths and park gates to bridges, streets and stations, all influenced by her love of Japanese woodblock prints and children’s book illustrations.

Katie is a member of ArtCan, an international arts organisation providing opportunities and fair payment for artists. She is also a director of Common Works Gallery CIC, which organises arts events in Wimbledon, and teaches screenprinting at Putney School of Art and Design.
