Through a lifetime spent immersed in the natural world and the creative processes that arise from it, Karen’s career weaves together stories of place and seasonal change into thoughtful observant works.
Born in the UK, Karen came to Australia as a very small child. She has lived in the South West since 1989 and on her Jacka Road property since 1991. She is happiest living in the country and finds constant inspiration for her art through walking and working on 140-acres of bushland.
Since graduating from Teachers College in 1985 and a BA in Visual Arts from Canberra School of Art in 1988, Karen has maintained her studio practice alongside her career in primary school art education. She is a multidisciplinary artist who derives great pleasure from developing mastery of materials. With a strong grounding in observational drawing, Karen has developed as an artist through her enjoyment of experimentation. She participates regularly in Margaret River Region Open Studios, submits her art to group exhibitions and wins awards.


Events

Something Unexpected Exhibition

-- Open to visit during Studio 61's regular hours -- A special feature exhibition running throughout MRROS at Studio 61, 'Something Unexpected' invites you to experience art out of context. I have worked with 13 other artists from the Margaret River Region to co-create an open-air installation exhibition that plays with unexpected ideas and challenges you to see the natural world from a different perspective. A curated walkway full of surprises will lead you through the forest and around the deep freshwater dam on my property, where you'll see the work of the participating artists like never before. Families with supervised children are welcome at 'Something Unexpected' during Studio 61 opening hours. Featuring: Georgia Zoric Lauren Wilhelm Josh Whiteland Lee-Ann Townrow Karen Seaman Ian Mutch John Miller Jacquie + Myles Happ Emily Jackson Evelyn Henschke Christian Fletcher Charlotte De Latte Rachel Coad
