Karen is a painter and printmaker known for her evocative depictions of everyday life. Her work explores the interplay between technique and spontaneity, resulting in images that are both intimate and accessible. Kangaroo Valley’s landscapes and wildlife, particularly Magpies, are recurring themes, as are interior scenes that invite the viewer to linger. Karen’s paintings often feature objects that tell stories of their own – a vintage tea set, a worn wooden table, or a scattering of wildflowers – imbuing the ordinary with a sense of quiet significance. Through her art, she seeks to capture the beauty and emotion of the everyday, creating a sense of connection with the viewer.
