I’m an artist based in Manchester, in the UK, and this is my website. It’s a work in progress and will morph into a slightly neater operation over the next few months. The gallery navigation in particular needs a bit of attention, so thanks for bearing with it.
I am available for storyboard, illustration or drawing work, examples of which can all be found on the right, so please have a look around. With painting I’m still learning, but open to suggestion. You can contact me at k_pinker@hotmail.com or give me a call on 07973 633 982 if you’re after any of the above.

My background
I was always drawing and painting as a child and this continued (usually during classes that weren’t Art) throughout my school years. After A Levels I went to Chelsea College of Art in London, where I completed a foundation year. My horizons however were beginning to broaden, and by the end of the course I’d decided to pursue other interests. I went on to study Sociology at university and for the next few years worked in London and the South, keeping my art as a side project and fitting in commissions where I could.
I never really shook off the desire for a more creative outlet though, and in 2006 quit my office job to spend 7 months on the Greek island of Paros at the Aegean Center for The Fine Arts, a school teaching painting and drawing in the Renaissance tradition. I wanted a back-to-basics course that would inspire me, improve my technical abilities and if possible get me out of the country. It was a wonderful experience, with remarkable teachers, and ultimately set me back on track. Having continued with my practice since then, I’m now embarking on a series of self-educational art projects whist earning a living through the work mentioned above.
I hope you enjoy my website,
Kathryn
