Katie Mooney
Born 1999, Liverpool, UK. Based in London
Katie Mooney is a London-based painter whose work is rooted in close observation of woodland landscapes and natural systems. With a background in conservation and experience working at institutions such as the V&A and the Natural History Museum, she brings both curiosity and structure to her practice.
Her paintings begin with vibrant underlayers that subtly glow through the surface before building into compositions of trees, foliage and shifting canopy structures. Working in rich earthy tones with flashes of electric colour, she creates landscapes that feel both grounded and heightened. Branch networks and forest floor forms dissolve into layered patterns, moving between representation and abstraction.
Through rhythm, texture and colour, her work explores the interconnected structures of the natural world, transforming familiar woodland scenes into immersive, contemporary compositions.
Katie works in acrylic, ink, oil pastel and oil paint on canvas, board and cotton rag paper.
She was selected for the RA Summer Exhibition in 2025 and has recently been shortlisted for the Jackson’s Art Prize. At 26, she is part of a new generation of painters reinterpreting landscape through a contemporary lens. She currently exhibits with Ad Lib Gallery in Wimbledon Village, London, and works from her studio in West London.
