We have a long working relationship with Karen and have been collecting her work for many years, mostly prints but several original paintings as well. The span of our collection (both at home, and in stock in the gallery) reflects her interest in habitat, architecture and literature.

“As an artist, I have always been drawn to the mediums of traditional and experimental printmaking, book art and moving image.
These forms allow me to explore the boundaries of visual storytelling, while also offering unique opportunities for personal expression and artistic experimentation. My love for printmaking stems from a deep appreciation of the historical significance and technical precision inherent in the medium. The challenge of etching spontaneously into a copper plate and building monoprints, achieving perfect registration of multiple layers, or experimenting with different inks and tonalities drives me to push myself creatively and technically. I am particularly interested in hybrid printing, which allows a lot of freedom, multi plates of different processes; explorative forms of printmaking that push the boundaries of traditional techniques with new safer ways of doing. I am fascinated by the possibilities of combining printmaking with new technologies.””
This series is influenced by Hogarth’s story of the same name. Originally a suite of 6 etchings and paintings by the artist in around 1732.
