Biog

To be a woman is a bit like being in a pantomime, a performance.Born in Glasgow but now living and working in Cambridge. My work is influenced by Fashion, Beauty, Pornography and Politics. It is bold and confrontational. With a degree in fashion and a career in graphics, I am able to bring a fresh and thought provoking approach to what's it's like to be a woman.I work initially in sketchbooks to create an amalgamation of these expectations and oppressions. In the process of trying to make a monster I am left with something else, something that in a strange way is also beautiful. We live in a mainstream society that perpetuates and reinforces sinister laws of gender. For my new series I deconstruct everyday (explicit) images of women readily found on magazine shelves around the world.Dark and uncertain yet bright and enchanting.I'd now like to welcome my 'Performers'; Felicity, Paula, Leoni, Sandra Jane..."Karen's paintings have a raw intensity that makes them rare and powerful. They are a cri de coeur emerging with great integrity from a tradition of feminism and feminist art." - Beverley Knowles, Writer/Curator 2011"I just love your art. The wonderful images presented in a (I think) totally original form. Full of colour and mystery. A real pleasure to own." - Ray, Buyer 2010
