What are everyone's thoughts on her work? From the couple people I have talked to, they love her work in person.
Getting a canvas from her is my 2012 goal. I am giving up buying pretty much everything in order to reach this goal.
I will likely never be able to see her work in the flesh outside of one work on paper that a member here has locally and I'll check out (hi Cardiff!).
Her work looks incredibly unique to me in the abstract world.
So what are your thoughts for the people that have enjoyed her work in person?
I may slip off to bed soon, but will be back to join the discussion!

Not keen, all looks a bit candy coloured swirls to me, im sure im in a minority though and there wil be lots who love her stuff (esp those who have bought it of course).

nice to hear bernard... I am definitely wanting to hear both sides.
Anything else that you didn't like besides the candy coloured swirls? Do you typically dislike or like abstract work? I know it's not for everyone.

I really like her work.
Sadly, from what I understand, her work is rather expensive.
I like art made using a nice colourful palette so she ticks that box beautifully!
Good luck with your quest...have you contacted her personally or do you hope to purchase on the secondary market
?

I know it's not for everyone. Not really, its just the bright coloured swirly thing i dont care for, reminds me of kids paintings when they throw all the paints on at once and see how it goes, i do like abstract works just not hers as it doesnt seem to me to have kind of thought process behind it. Like i say though thats only my opinion. |

Will most likely pick up her work from a representing gallery . But if someone had a canvas , I would do a private deal.

I absolutely loves the paintings, and if I had the money she would be among the first artists on the buylist.
But it looks like she is productive and hardworking so there is a potential risk of reduced pricing for her work that is not among the best.
I would be very selective or look to get a bargain on a ok painting.
Good luck!

Check with Ed from Future Tense (edcase on the forum), he represents her.

I'd say if you want one... get it. You won't regret it, you'll love looking at it every day and it will repay every pound you spend on it in terms of joy it brings you. |

Like i say though thats only my opinion. This^^^ Don't really think she is that unique especially in the "wider art" world. One trick pony comes to my mind. Candy swirls on the canvas in the shape of square, star, circle, rectangle etc. Looks nice but IMO very much lacking the depth and the substance. However what is the most important that YOU like it and from what you have written you feel very string about her work considering you want to give up pretty much everything. My advise: take your time look around (beyond this forum) and try to see it in person before buying. |

interesting, some different opinions than what I usually seem to read on here about her works.
I do appreciate the opinions.

Personally, I am a big fan of vibrant, colourful pieces with lots of energy and movement. Katrins work fits perfectly into this category for me. My personal taste lean towards the calligraphy based pieces, like the one above, from the "Bells Are Ringing" series (Bells Are Ringing 3). Other personal favourites are "Lady Picasso" and the "Punks" series. I had the money set aside before Christmas to purchase one of the book covers from POW, but I didn't think it worked too well when I saw it in the flesh (more to do with the paper buckling under the weight of the paint, than the image itself). If I had the money to buy one of her larger pieces I would buy it in a flash. If you enjoy her work, buy it! I'd be more than happy to come round for a cuppa and coo over it if you do  |

Really like her work. I was looking online last week actually trying to find pieces of hers on sale to get an idea of prices. I found it pretty hard to be honest, pieces either seemed sold out or 'contact gallery for price'.
Where is a good place to find her work? What do prices start from? I presume she hasnt done any prints?

Really nice that Cardiff. These are the style of works of hers i like most, the black with areas of colour and large white space. I way prefer them to her other works where there is a lot going on, (no white space).

I really like her style, those mixed twists of colours, would love to see the whole paper covered but I'm guessing its a pretty expensive way to paint. I think a member here posted pics of a similar style he was developing a while back which were awesome, anyone remember ? |

Easily accessible work that's almost too populist in nature (if that makes sense), the longer I study it, the less I tend to like it.

I'll try  I liken the work to a massive slab of chocolate gateau it looks great and the first few mouthfuls are pleasurable.Then slowly you realise what a bad idea it was to eat it. It's work that easily liked, but loses it appeal over time. I guess I'm saying it's a bit empty, for me at least. |

I'm going to to compare her stuff to Pollock's (which may or may not be fair, but hear me out). What I like about both their work is that you can see the energy and force behind the work, as if the act of creating it is the art itself. I do quite like her crayons pieces, probably too dear for my budget, but I like the energy, the "splash," the artist's actual hand doing the work, whatever you want to call it.

I really like the energy behind it as well. I also feel the detail of paint is incredible, the separation of colors. Any other artist out there do work quit like that?
Would also be interested to hear some recommendations of emerging artist in this genre... I am fairly new to contemporary abstract. I bought my first Jago last year and really fell in love. recommendations outside of Parla, VM Marshal and of course Jago ; )
