Artist Karen Wallis
Was born in
Middlesbrough and studied at Teesside University and Durham University. For
many years she combined art and design and teaching but now devotes herself
entirely to painting. Karen paints in oils and acrylics using several glazes of
thin paint overlaid with impasto to create hazy and evocative images. The
concept of combining fine art and abstract elements creates a unique image
which is traditional in manner, but has a very contemporary edge. Karen’s
stunning figurative work conveys a tenderness and appreciation of the female
form. These gentle and mysterious images convey the magic and enchantment of
feminine thoughts and dreams. Karen paints her models with soft detail and then
sets them in imaginary space, with a feeling of drifting light and air, which allows
the viewer to create their own world.She has taken part in several exhibitions
throughout the UK; her paintings have also been profiled in various magazines
and newspapers and her work is in collections in Europe and America.
