Karen is currently working on building a new body of work based on her hiking trips across the UK and specifically the North East. She has always been drawn to the sky, landscapes, the sea and their many emotive states. Karen strives to harness the spirit of a place and convey its atmosphere. Karen’s inspiration comes from the light, weather, the landscape, and the ambience of a place. She is also inspired by her favourite artist J.
