Explore the connections between sky, land, sea and buildings and get lost in the emotions of being in those places through viewing Karen's paintings. Her paintings explore her emotional connections and memories of landscapes through both  her choice of locations to sketch/paint and whilst she creates reimagining  the physical sensations she experienced back in those locations. Karen loves the feel and fluidity of watercolour aligning it to the sensations of sea and big open skies. The commitment of permanent pen to start gives purposeful structure, sharp emphasis and focus of angular structures in the paintings.   Painting and sketching are one of her personal therapy practices after previously suffering from re-occurring complex PTSD. Sketching /  painting a natural land/seascape helps to destress / creates a sense of calm, with the positive butterfly happy high when she feel its going really well and creating whilst emotionally back in the landscape..
