MEET THE ARTIST

A long-time resident of the Comox Valley, Karen received her Fine Arts Diploma at North Island College in 1994, followed by 2 years of independent study in sculpture and printmaking.

Following a long career in publication design and her own Graphics business, Karen has since retired and returned full-time to her painting. With a love of color and pattern she uses her design skills and experimentation with mixed media materials to reflect both the whimsy of everyday life and her love of the natural world.

Karen's explores a variety of subjects while striving for a deeper understanding not only of the relationships between color, line, texture, and form, but also the interconnectedness between ourselves, our spirit and this beautiful planet we inhabit.

Since resuming her painting practice in 2023 she has participated in shows at the Artful The Gallery, Artwrx Studio Gallery, The Pearl Ellis Gallery and the Comox Valley Airport.
