Kitty trained as a textile designer at Loughborough College of Art and Design. She worked as a freelance designer for the British, Italian and American market. Subsequently she taught art, photography and textiles. Kitty’s first pieces were exclusively in silver and gold, her jewellery influenced by the land and seascapes of Dorset and Cornwall. Having been featured in the BBC’s ‘What Not to Wear’ she was told unequivocally that she should be wearing bright sparkling jewellery, so, undaunted, she began to make necklaces, earrings and bracelets from semi-precious stones. Colour and texture closely link her jewellery, batiks and paintings. Her work was for some years for sale at the Gilbert Collection Shop, Somerset House, Strand, where she was invited to talk about her work and influences. Kitty also paints scenes inspired by Dorset landscapes.
