Experimentation is important in my process and I love nothing more than creating beautiful and treasured objects from something unexpected or discarded. I continues to explore new mediums and techniques to produce a diverse array of artwork. Wire is used extensively in my work as I find its versatility enables me to create sculptural and fluid pieces.
For over 20 years Karen has explored different mediums including; acrylic paint, mixed media, textiles, wire art and encaustic wax. I am fortunate to have an expansive studio space to work in and usually have several projects on the go at any given time. This of course can seem quite chaotic, but I am energised by the creative process and am never lost for ideas.
Originality is important to me. I love to bring an artwork to market that is special and not mass produced. Each piece is carefully crafted, the process as important as the finished item. I like to think I have made a special connection to the buyer with a little piece of my own heart going to a new home.
