Pie Herring is a British figurative artist whose work explores themes of identity, culture and human connection. She graduated from The Edinburgh College of Art in 2018 with a BA(Hons) in Painting. In 2019 her degree show work was awarded the Carnegie Scholarship at the RSA's New Contemporaries Exhibition. Later that year, her work was featured in the group show ‘Young London Painters’ held at Arthill Gallery.

In 2020, on a mission to gain inspiration Pie began to travel and paint, collecting local materials and techniques along the way. She looked to explore the impact that different environments and cultures could have on her painting practice. The artist was invited to Kenya with a group of artists to create work centred around rural communities in the North of the country. Her work was exhibited in a group show at The High Line Nine Gallery in New York later that year.

In 2021-2022, the artist moved to the oldest Swahili settlement in East Africa to focus her painting practice on its local fishing culture. Later that year, she was invited to stay with the Samburu Tribe of Northern Kenya. Pie created a collection of paintings which were exhibited at Matbronze Gallery, Nairobi in November 2022.

In 2023, Pie was invited to live in Marrakech as an artist in residence with Riad Alena. Most recently, the artist has been in Ghana taking part in the AATC Residency. Her artworks from the residency will be exhibited in February 2025 at CasildArt Gallery, London.
