About Karen

Welcome to my story

I am a passionate artist, constantly thinking of new ideas for paintings and for my business. I love colour, lines and character, creating stories for walls!

I live and work in Celbridge

I am inspired by many artists, including Amedeo Modigliani, Kees van Dongen, Klimt, Egon Schiele and Frida Kahlo.

Keep an eye on my News and Stories section for where you can find me exhibiting next.

ABOUT ME

I have been drawing since I was a small child. People as subjects interested me the most though lately I have branched into still life and floral painting too.
Since 2006 I have been partaking in various workshops in life drawing and portraiture and in 2016 I completed ‘Drawing and Painting the Figure’ in NCAD.

After this I began my own art business, working in my garden studio, building my audience via social media, joint and solo art exhibitions, festivals such as Waterford Walls and Electric Picnic and by joining a mentoring group ‘Bite the Biscuit’ where I have been availing of continued marketing training. I am a member of the VAI.

I have also participated in ‘Art Source’ in the RDS 2021, 2019 and 2018 and via these shows have grown my client base.

I work from my home studio on portrait commissions and my collections.
