Primarily a figurative artist, Katherine Allen's work focuses on women, domesticity and motherhood. Her work reflects her current stage in life and is a way for her to explore the delicate balance between her multiple roles as mother, professional and artist.
Allen's works are monotypes - unique one-off prints. She enjoys the printmaking process and how it removes her control over the final image. It also gives the works their unusual markings and blurry textures.
