PETS, PORTRAITS ​​AND NORTHUMBERLAND ART

​
Welcome to my website!
My name is Karen, and I am a professional artist with over 30 years of experience. I specialise in creating lifelike pet portraits and portraits of people from photographs, using artist-quality acrylics, oil pastels, and coloured pencils. In addition, I draw inspiration from Northumberland's stunning wildlife and landscapes to create unique paintings that capture the natural beauty of the area and the nature that lives in it.
​
I am situated in the beautiful Northumberland town of Newbiggin by the Sea in the UK and offer my services to people ​within the UK and internationally. ​ ​​Please look around my website and contact me if you have any questions.
