The Northumberland Artist
Discover the breathtaking natural beauty of Northumberland's vast landscapes and its diverse wildlife.​
Welcome to my website!
I’m Karen, a professional artist with 30+ years of experience. I specialise in lifelike pet and people portraits, using high-quality acrylics, oil pastels, and coloured pencils. Inspired by Northumberland’s wildlife and landscapes, I also create unique paintings that capture the natural beauty of the area. I offer my services nationally and internationally based in Newbiggin by the Sea, UK. Feel free to explore my website and reach out with any questions!
Christmas Orders
If you are interested in commissioning a portrait as a Christmas gift, please get in touch as early as possible to discuss your ideas. This will ensure timely completion of the portrait before the holiday period. Due to the limited timeframe and existing orders, I have a limited number of available openings.
Alternatively, gift vouchers are also available for purchase should you prefer to provide a personalised gifting option.

" Although I was born in Chesterfield in the Midlands, I hold a deep love for Northumberland, which has become a significant part of my life. The area's abundant wildlife fuels my passion for nature and inspires me to create art that reflects the local scenery and surroundings. I am honoured to have the trust of people who commission me to capture the essence of their beloved pets and loved ones through my artwork. Both animals and art are central to my passions, and I feel fortunate to pursue what I love everyday." Karen M Berisford |
