ola was founded by London based designer Katy Goutefangea in 2014. Her dedication to craft and love of process and materials stem from her background as a studio printmaker and bookbinder. Katy brings the knowledge and experience gained during her fine art degree to her work as well as her ongoing research into historical design and traditional techniques.

I am from London and first came across East London Printmakers whilst living in Hackney. I have studied printmaking at the East London Printmakers, the University of Falmouth School of Art and Design, The City Lit and Opificio della Rosa. At the moment I work mainly with etching and linocut. My influences include optical toys and old fashioned film photography.
Having in 2008 transferred from creating and performing theatre to the creation of images, I find my greatest freedom in the spontaneity and rawness of monoprints.
This is where I discover the marks that come somewhat near to creating the impact and emotion that I wish to express.
I am a painter and printmaker. The luminosity and intensity of colour which etching offers both in single and multi-plate images is at the heart of my work where colour is an experience. My work is an exploration of the elusive territory where the mind slips between what is known and what is imagined. The starting point may be an illuminating text or personal experience but the intention is to take the viewer on an internal journey rather than to tell a story.
BA (First Class, WSCAD) in Painting, MA in Printmaking (Camberwell College of Arts)
Printmaker’s Council Student Award
Artist in Residence at London Metropolitan University
Major open shows include New Contemporaries, John Moore’s XI, Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, National Portrait Gallery BP Portrait Awards, Pacesetters, and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.
I like to use the technique collagraph to create my images, which tend to be drawn from natural forms. My recent work is in celebration of the little worlds that exist within our world. My past work was about my own inner world. I like to work mostly in monochrome. At the moment i am going through a blue period.
