About The Artist

Inks and Oils, was created by Katy Miles and is the culmination of years of work, hardship, healing and creative expression. Tying together the two strands of creativity - painting and writing - that have, throughout history been so intertwined. 

Inks and Oils resides in the dusk, the liminal space between two worlds, in which rigidity is abandoned and the lines between two very different mediums become one and the same. Each piece tells a story of resilience, reflection and the beauty in the imperfections and messiness of being alive.

With both brushstrokes and written words, Inks and Oils seeks to say the things that so often cannot be said. It's essence is one of connection; connection between two mediums, the connection between piece and audience and most importantly, the connection between creating and healing.

Our aim is to bring a sense of safety, community and understanding to those who find solace in words and freedom in paintings. Safe in the knowledge that the feeling has been felt before and can too be survived.
