I'm Katja, here's a little about me.
I was born and raised in the seaside town of Brighton in Sussex. I've always loved drawing and making and due to my problem of never being able to get rid of anything I still have many of my early creations!!
I went on to study Fine Art at De Montfort university in Leicester where I met my partner Matt. After our degrees we moved back to Brighton where I set up an art gallery/studio. Although my first love was always printmaking I'd discovered woodcarving while at university. I began carving portraits and pet portraits out of wood, mostly to commission, whilst also renting wall space to other local artists. It was a fun time 😊
After a few years we got the travel bug and decided to go travelling for six months, which actually turned in to nearly three years! A large chunk of this time we lived in Australia and I worked as a picture framer.
After returning to the UK in 2004 we went on to have three children. Since then I've spent most of my time trying to turn them into decent human beings!
I still continued to print but just for friends and family. Despite loving printmaking I only discovered screen printing a few years ago when my mum bought me a three day course in screen printing on fabric for my 40th birthday. I just loved how, by using paper cut templates, you can create these clean crisp images. Printing on fabric allows me to add another dimension to my work by utilising some of the gorgeous prints I come across.
To get more living space we moved to the countryside just outside of Brighton in 2016. Since then I've been printing and making a mess on my kitchen table :)

JOIN AMY ON SUNDAY FOR HER COLLAGE WORKSHOP.
amylucas_artworks@outlook.com
I explore the theme of spontaneity by collaging characters with magazines and newspapers to create simple, unique pieces that ooze positivity and poke light mockery at anything that takes itself seriously. My work celebrates life’s sweet coincidences, and the notion that all things eventually fall into place - in life AND on paper.
Using paper, scissors and glue, I focus on bringing out people’s individuality by combining exaggerated features with everyday imagery. Fun, wacky and nonsensical, this workshop will be a chance for people to let their hair down, their silliness out and their imaginations run riot!
