Welcome!
My name is Karen and I am a professional Artist creating finely detailed portraits of the Natural World & Wildlife for customers within the UK and Internationally. I work primarily in Acrylic paints but also Coloured pencils too from my Art studio in the beautiful, north east town of Newbiggin by the Sea, Northumberland in the UK. I am mostly known for creating highly detailed portraits of Pets and human portraiture, which I have been doing for over 25 years. All my Artworks are hand drawn/painted using professional quality products to ensure longevity.
