About the Artwork:

Inspired by nature and my surroundings, this work evokes childhood memories in the UK moving through the seasons, and culminating in the Harvest. A season that has inspired me through my time living in South Africa and Australia. The final mark making create texture and draw the viewer into the layers below, the micro pointillism results in a calming composition, and my hope is that the viewer will find their own narrative in this meditative work.

About the Artist:

Favouring an impressionistic creative approach, Karen alternates between oils and acrylics in order to produce diverse compositional elements, imagery and texturisations. Later, in 2020, she began experimenting with various artistic methods and techniques, to counter the limitations imposed on her life during lockdowns. As a result of this exploration, her practice soon became influenced by the colourisations, innate shapes and minute details her environment. Persistently striving to produce a diverse body of work, her art is consistently emotive and highly symbolic and draws heavily from her sensory and psychological interpretations and experiences.
