Karen's art is a ‘wind in the hair’ ride through colour, shape, texture and powerful abstract themes. Inspired by her love of sailing and nature, she weaves her stories of land and sea into bold, uplifting images using mark-making, expressive gesture and collage.

Never shy of colour, her paintings reflect the vibrant, sun-infused environment that is Noosa, whilst frequently nodding towards influences from her 25 years of living alongside the chaotic and infectious street-art scene in London.
