Born in 1967 in London, Hatty lives and works between the Midlands and London.

Hatty returned to art-making following a career spanning several decades in West End and Broadway theatre production, during which she became an early theatre dotcom entrepreneur. Her subsequent involvement in a range of contemporary art-world projects informed the development of her own visual practice.

Having spent part of her childhood in Bangladesh during the 1970s, Hatty travelled extensively throughout the 1980s and early 1990s - experiences that continue to resonate in her work. She later served as Director of a creative community in London's East End before establishing her current studio practice in the Midlands. She is currently a Non Executive Director of Camp & Furnace in Liverpool.

Hatty's practice centres on the transformation of found and worn textiles through processes of unmaking and remaking. Working with cloth that already carries histories of use, damage, and repair, she deconstructs, patches, and stitches as acts of material enquiry rather than restoration. The work holds difficult experience without resolution, allowing the cloth's own record of endurance to remain visible and active.

Hatty's work is held in various private collections, including the Private Collection of Maureen Paley, and can be viewed on White Columns Artists' Registry.
