🎨 MY ESCAPE: MEET THE ARTISTS – Katy Horwood

What does escape mean to you?

For textile artist Katy Horwood (), it can be found walking along Regent’s Canal through King’s Cross. Katy sees the fascinating contrast between the area’s industrial past and its greener, softer present – from the historic Gasworks to the foliage lining the towpath. 🌿

Her My Escape artwork captures this changing landscape through watercolour, embroidery and appliqué. For Katy, the slow, meditative process of stitching is an escape in itself, while the canal offers a quiet haven in the middle of the city.

Katy is a Camden-based textile artist who returned to her love of embroidery during lockdown, creating work inspired by nature, place and the environment. She also runs creative workshops, sharing the joy of textiles with others.

Her work is one of 35 artworks created by members of the Camden Artist Network for My Escape, now taking over the art benches at King’s Cross.

🌿 Next time you’re in King’s Cross, take a wander along the canal and see the area through Katy’s eyes – you might spot a few familiar details.

🚨 4 DAYS TO GO: RICKY MORRISON 🚨

Four days to go until the Inverness Street Bloc Party! Now meet Camden fave Ricky Morrison ❤️ legendary DJ, producer, founder of Catch A Groove Records and a huge part of the UK house music story.

Ricky lived in Camden in the late 1980s, when the area was at the heart of a rapidly evolving club culture. He was a regular DJ across some of Camden’s most iconic venues (Dingwalls, the Jazz Cafe, KOKO, The Cross and the Electric Ballroom) and became resident at High On Hope at Dingwalls alongside Norman Jay MBE.

From those Camden dancefloors, Ricky went on to play clubs and festivals around the world, perform alongside house music legends and create music as part of M&S Productions, including the huge ‘Salsoul Nugget’.

Calling our amazing Camden community! You have five days until Inverness Street Bloc Party: DISCO HOUSE❤️

Meet Janice Vee - former Kiss FM presenter, now on Mi-Soul Radio, and a respected DJ with a serious love of disco, soulful house and feel-good classics.

From nights at Dingwalls with Gilles Peterson and Patrick Forge to Paul Trouble Anderson’s legendary nights at The Electric Ballroom, Camden’s clubs and characters helped shape Janice’s own musical journey.

And now she’s bringing that journey back to Camden - with the kind of music that gets different generations dancing together. 🪩

🎨 MY ESCAPE: MEET THE ARTISTS – Max Jaffa

What does escape mean to you?

For Max Jaffa (.art), escape can be found in those small moments of connection – with nature, with other people, and with the memories we carry with us 🐦

Her My Escape artwork, Rhita Tamed a Crow, is a portrait of her late grandmother, Rhita, and the wild crow she managed to tame – a bird that chose to keep her company, beautifully portrayed in Max's piece.

It’s a story about memory, connection and those quiet moments when the city slows down around you. And Max hopes her painting can offer passersby something similar: a moment of stillness, and perhaps connection with the community around us

Max has lived in Camden for 25 years, creating portraits that explore the people and creatures who shape our lives.

Her work is one of 35 artworks created by members of the Camden Artist Network for My Escape, now taking over the art benches at King’s Cross.

🎨 Come and discover the artists, their stories and what ‘escape’ means to them.

🎨 MY ESCAPE: MEET THE ARTISTS – Hells Gibson

What does escape mean to you?

For artist , it starts with a walk. 🚶‍♀️

As a Londoner who walks everywhere, Hells finds plenty of inspiration simply by wandering through the city – observing, thinking and taking it all in.

Her My Escape artwork, Woolf, 2026, takes its inspiration from Virginia Woolf’s famous words about walking through London and escaping into the city. And, of course, there’s a nod to the humble bench – the perfect place to pause when you’ve been walking, walking, walking…

In her signature bold graphic style, Hells turns everyday life, love, London and everything in between into art with plenty of honesty and humour.

Her work is one of 35 artworks created by members of the Camden Artist Network for My Escape, now taking over the art benches at King’s Cross.

🚶‍♀️ Enjoy your Saturday - why not go for a stroll? You never know what inspiration you might find along the way. Come and see Hells’ artwork, alongside 34 other Camden artists, across Granary Square and King’s Boulevard while you still can!

📍 Granary Square & King’s Boulevard, King’s Cross
