Hi, I’m Karen, and I’ve always felt a deep connection to the natural world, especially the wildlife that surrounded me growing up in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The landscapes and creatures of home have shaped my creativity, and even though I’ve moved to New Zealand, the rich beauty of Northern Ireland and its wildlife is always close to my heart.
I’m constantly inspired by the small wonders in nature—birds, butterflies, bees—and I love capturing these moments through photography, which helps me work through the intricate details in my art.
Whether I’m walking through a forest or tending my garden, I’m always looking for those quiet encounters that spark my imagination.
My art is inspired by the delicate, often overlooked moments in nature and I believe it’s these small wonders that connect us to the bigger picture, filling our lives with a sense of peace and purpose.
Through my paintings, I aim to capture that feeling and share it with others, inviting you to pause and enjoy the beauty of the natural world that fuels my passion every day. Whether it’s a bee hovering over lavender or a robin perched at a water bath, each piece I create is a reflection of my love for wildlife and the calming energy it brings.
