BIOGRAPHY

Cat Coulter is a Scottish artist, working since 2019 in Fife and London. Cat makes cyanotypes, sculptures and collages from waste plastics and other litter gathered from local beaches.

​

Cat’s work aims to stimulate dialogue about the threats to our natural environment caused by human behaviour, over production and wastefulness. It is created with humour and aims to appeal and appal in equal measure.

​

Cat enjoys bringing this visual conversation into unexpected places and to new audiences. Cat has exhibited at home and internationally in Paris, Vienna, Dessau, Madrid and Wellington, in solo and group shows. Her work has been selected by Royal Academicians Grayson Perry and Cornelia Parker for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions in 2022 and 2024, and shortlisted by Tracey Emin for the Margate Art Prize 2023.

​

In addition to iconic art spaces, such as the RA and The Mall Galleries, Cat’s work has appeared in a variety of less conventional places, such as on public billboards, illuminated three storeys high across windows on London’s Oxford Street, in solo shows in repurposed commercial retail units and in a gallery created in a public telephone box.

​

In 2025, Cat is delighted to appear in the independent documentary ‘Shaping Our Shores’, about plastic pollution around the Scottish coastline.
