And the flowers danced - Katy Smail

Katy Smail was born under the purple skies of Scotland and graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a First class (hons) degree in Illustration.

She moved to New York where she lived and worked for ten years. She has recently nestled back in Scotland, happy to be surrounded by the endless inspiration of local wildflowers. 

Her work has been described as "Feminine and hopeful and full of depth but also not heavy. You want to live in her world"

Katy's paintings are a meditation on the natural world and the divine feminine. Her work is an invitation to surrender to our inherent wildness, our intuition. Dreamlike landscapes and wildflower studies celebrate the magic of Mother Nature. 

Uncovering the visceral joy and deep peace we can find if we honour our relationship to the Earth. Her work explores the ways in which the wisdom of the land, the wisdom of our bodies and the wisdom of a higher consciousness can heal ourselves and our planet. Paintings that honour this feminine energy - a form of knowing that values feelings and embodied knowledge -  which is systematically dismissed in our society. Plant medicine, colour therapy.
