Kitty Watt

KITTY WATT is a printmaker of considerable reputation.  She first learned to etch at Peacock Printmakers in 1986 and instantly took to the intricacies of the process. Some years on, she continues to develop and experiment. By building an Aquatint box out of an old table and a hairdryer, she was able to acheive different tones, which led to her particular use of colour in her etchings, the ink applied with anything from rollers to cotton buds. Kitty’s recent work shows a more confident use of colour and a new strength. She lived for many years in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire.  Now living in Caithness, she has found inspiration in the magnificent coastal scenery of Caithness and Orkney, the wild seas and skies, towering cliffs and stacks. Stone circles and standing stones are a theme continuing from Aberdeenshire where they formed a frequent subject in her work. Now they are represented by the world famous Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness in Orkney.
