Karen is privileged to be a born and bred Victorian, and it is the influence of this breathtaking city that informs her work. It was in her early childhood years that Karen discovered the world of art. She has worked with various types of media and explored many different artistic paths in the journey to her current abstract style. Soft pastels took the place of acrylics, watercolours, and pen and ink in the summer of 2002. Karen plans to continue reproducing her vision of Victoria's eclectic landscapes in her unique and inspired style. Look for her interpretations of oceans, flowers, mountains, and rivers, and especially her favourite subject matter: trees.
