Bringing Art To Life - One Brushstroke At A Time

Welcome to Karen’s world of art, where creativity meets emotion and colour or value brings life to every piece. Here, you'll find a unique collection of artwork that tells a story, captures a moment, and evokes a feeling.

As an artist, Karen has been honing her craft for as long as she can remember. From her earliest days of drawing and colouring to her current passion for acrylic painting and graphite drawing; she has dedicated herself to capturing the beauty and emotion of the world around us.

Whether it's a portrait of a loved one or a stunning seascape, Karen infuses each piece with a sense of depth, luminosity, and life. Her love for people, animals, and the sea is evident in every stroke, as she captures the unique expressions and moods that make each subject so special.

At the heart of Karen's art is a desire to create beauty and feeling in all her work. She uses the glazing technique with quick-drying acrylic paint to add depth and luminosity to her pieces, ensuring that each one is a true work of art. Her ultimate goal is to share her love of colour, detail, and emotion with others, providing happiness and memories in the homes where her artwork now lives.

So come and explore Karen's collection, and discover the beauty, emotion, and wonder that her art has to offer. With each brushstroke, she brings her subjects to life, creating a piece that is as unique and special as the moment it captures.
