The Botanica Collection

This collection of acrylic mixed media paintings by Susannah Katie explores the enduring charm of mid-century design through a contemporary botanical lens. Inspired by bold patterns, organic shapes, and playful geometry, each piece blends stylised floral forms with layered textures and expressive mark making.

Drawing from a personal archive of vintage ephemera — including tea towels, sewing patterns, and printed textiles — these works celebrate the quiet beauty of everyday design. Fragments of pattern and fabric-like motifs are reimagined through paint, creating compositions that feel both nostalgic and fresh.

Through layers of colour, repetition, and texture, each piece is built up and reworked to reflect both process and history. The result is a tactile and intuitive collection that invites the viewer to explore subtle details within every layer.

Together, the collection forms a modern botanica — a dialogue between memory, pattern, and the natural world, where the past is honoured and reinterpreted through a contemporary artistic vision.

Mixed Media Canvas Art

This body of work presents a refined exploration of botanical forms through layered acrylic and mixed media techniques. Each piece is developed through an evolving process of building, editing, and reworking surfaces, allowing textures and forms to emerge organically over time. Influenced by mid-century design language, the collection balances structure with softness, combining geometric rhythm with natural, flowing shapes.

Hints of vintage influence appear through subtle patterning and material references, giving each work a sense of depth and quiet history. The result is a collection that feels considered yet instinctive — where colour, surface, and form interact to create artwork that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in visual heritage.
