The United Kingdom Artists

Katherine Sheers

Formerly an internationally acclaimed lingerie designer, UK-based artist Katherine Sheers studied at Chelsea College of Art before turning to painting. Her layered works in acrylic, oil, pastel, ink, and spray paint explore the vulnerability and power of the female body. Sheers’ art—exhibited from Oxford to Seattle—was shortlisted for The Mother Art Prize (2020). Her paintings, simultaneously raw and refined, offer collectors intimate meditations on embodiment and femininity.
