About
Karen lives and works in Bega, NSW, and began painting in 2018, having been a horticulturist, landscape designer and writer of fiction.
She is primarily a painter on board and canvas, as well as a block and monotype printer. Her subjects are usually nature-based, encompassing landscapes, still life and botanical studies, though the still life form is a favourite, created from compositions of plants she has grown herself along with personal objects collected throughout her life. Karen’s art practice provides the imaginative material and scope for varied, self-led explorations in the fields of philosophy, psychology and the study of human nature and connectivity, all of which fascinate the artist. |
