I got the painting bug again during the pandemic where I held a weekly art session with my family to keep them entertained. My husband and I now paint regularly.
I paint in acrylics mainly and love to leave a texture and movement in my pieces.
I get inspiration from visits to the zoo, forests and wandering my local habitat."

Karen has a very eclectic painting style, encompassing watercolour, acrylic and mixed media. Her work varies from impressionistic to abstracted images to non-objective contemporary pieces.
Karen transitioned from a long & varied career in the Health Sciences to Art and design approximately 12 years ago when she started her own interior design company and took her first art class. She has since attended courses at the Haliburton School of Art and several workshops with prominent artists in Europe.
Karen has held several solo shows at the Kathleen McKay Art Centre, Markham and at the Markham Flato Theatre.
Karen recently moved to the Port Perry area and her 20 acre heritage property. It is this closeness to nature and extensive travels that inspire her art.
Karen joined the PPAA in 2021 and is looking forward to her
second group show.
