PAINTING PORTFOLIO

SURFACE DESIGN PORTFOLIO 

Animals, wildlife, and the quiet poetry of the natural world form a recurrent thread in Karen’s mixed-media illustrations and paintings. Rooted in the daily rhythms of farm life and inspired by long walks through woods and fields, her imagery emerges from a deeply personal iconography of flora and fauna.

She crafts layered, contemplative compositions using traditional paint and mixed media and/or digital techniques, evoking texture, emotion, and subtle narrative. Her pieces often feel untethered to time or place, living in dreamlike, atmospheric spaces where memory and imagination converge.

Karen's painting portfolio  is both distinctive and versatile, translating seamlessly across formats—from editorial and spot illustrations to greeting cards, book covers, textiles, and licensed collections. Her visual language is one of quiet resonance: familiar yet mysterious, soft yet enduring.

Clients and collaborators drawn to her work are often seeking something in addition to decorative art—a visual voice that carries meaning, mood, and a sense of wonder.
