Kathy Hulme, December 2025
Kathy Hulme’s paintings of swimmers catch the swimmer unawares, negotiating the alien medium of water. Each swimmer’s relationship with the water demands unique approaches and techniques. Sometimes the paint is thinly applied to capture light patterns, at other times thicker impasto strokes show the movement of the water and swimmer.
Inspired by swimming, people, nature and the landscape, she uses a variety of media and styles to create works on board and paper. From abstract, experimental pieces to figurative work Kathy’s style is underpinned by strong drawing skills honed at Edinburgh College of art in the 80s.
