Karen has lived all her life in a village in rural Bedfordshire, and it’s the nature that surrounds her that inspires most of her work. With a love of colour and large expressive brush marks she likes to capture the energy and memory of beautiful moments.

She works mainly in acrylic, starting with a bright under colour. Karen allows some of this to come through in her work. She uses a large brush to give a painterly and impressionistic feel to her work. Most of her work is inspired by nature and the ‘great outdoors’.
