Artworks by Kate Strupinski

After receiving a 1st class Degree at Harrow BA (Hons) I went on to do a Master of Arts at Central Saint Martin's School of Art. After graduating I worked as a freelance illustrator for a number of years with my work gracing well known magazines and publications with vibrant and modern illustrations. I was recently shortlisted for and won an award (highly commended) at the CCA Galleries Emerging artist awards 2026.

I currently produce canvas paintings and mixed media works which I regularly exhibit at various shows throughout the year. I am a member of several art societies and regularly go out painting en plein air with other artists and enjoy life drawing sessions both in person and online. I also work from my studio in South west London producing mixed media artworks, painting still lives, figurative pieces and semi-abstract works, working towards shows and undertaking commissions.

I enjoy painting in oils, acrylic gouache and combining this with drawing and collage. I work from life and also from reference images and photographs, aswell as painting intuitively. I am inspired by Robert Rauschenberg, Howard Hodgkin, David Hockney, Henri Matisse, Ivon Hitchins.

My work has been featured in group shows at CCA Galleries, Richmond Art Society, The Russell Gallery, the Landmark Arts Centre and The Fulham library exhibition space amongst others.
