Muirne Kate Dineen is a British artist who has become heir to the ancient Indian art of araash.
It's a style of Jaipuri fresco painting consisting of bold slabs of colour with abstract patterns running through them.
The painstakingly laborious process of combining layers of marble dust with slaked lime has all but died out in India, but Muirne Kate has single handedly brought the technique over to the West and given it a contemporary edge.
She learnt the craft during years of study with her teacher in India, Garsilal Varma.
Henrietta Otley went to her South London studio to see her work, pigments and tools.
