About Kat Healy
Kat Healy, a dedicated community art teacher in Scotland, loves exploring various subjects through her art, with a particular fondness for wildlife, often inspired by folklore and poetry, observed through a seasonal lens.
​
Kat's international travels as a folk/singer-songwriter, as well as her Master's Degree in Creative Writing (with Distinction), help inform her relaxed, encouraging teaching style. Her love of narrative, colour and texture are ideal when it comes to creating loose, expressive watercolour and mixed media studies.​​
I believe everyone has a story to tell. I encourage students to explore imagination and experience, and to feel inspired to create unique, meaningful work.
Kat's workshops embrace the cyclic nature of learning, understanding that each brushstroke brings a unique beauty and opportunity for growth.
​
Kat's original watercolours have been widely acclaimed, both locally and abroad, with her work being shortlisted for various Wildlife category prizes and awards.
​
Over the past five years, Kat has established herself as a respected and in-demand community tutor. She runs workshops for all ages at community halls across Scotland and operates a private studio by the sea in East Lothian.
Inspired to Create
Kat's commitment to art extends beyond teaching, as she launched Shorelark.org in 2023. A non-profit (CIC) organisation that aims to make art workshops accessible in the community, embodying her firm belief that everyone should have the opportunity to experience a moment of mindful creativity.
