My name is Kitty Valentine. I live and work in a Grade II* listed Victorian workshop in Shoreditch, an area rich in history and secrets in the heart of the City of London. I paint pictures and politely deface Victorian photographs, faded lithographs and old postcards.

I have been drawing and painting all my life and find inspiration comes mostly late at night when I work at my beloved Victorian oak desk with a candle and a glass of wine, surrounded by dusty flea market treasure, art books and animal skulls.

The paintings featured in the prints that I sell on Etsy have recently been shown at two very exciting exhibitions in London: Therianthropy, at the very mysterious and enthralling Museum of Pathology at Bart's Hospital, and Victoriana: The Art of Revival, a delightful exhibition at The Guildhall Art Gallery that brought together twenty-eight contemporary artists who are all inspired by the 19th century.

Please drop me a line if you are interested in buying originals.
