Biography:

Karen Joy B.A.
ABSTRACT AND IMPRESSIONISTIC LANDSCAPE PAINTER
I originally trained and worked as a picture restorer, and then went on to do a fine art degree course, as a mature student in my early 20s. Having then married, it was not until the family grew up that I allowed myself to start painting seriously. Originally, I started with watercolour, but having discovered acrylic I was hooked. I find this medium so totally adaptable, as it allows me to work in endless different ways, but always quickly and spontaneously. I work from the idea of either a specific place or feeling, and the painting is a reaction to this and the interaction with the paint at the time.
I work in my studio as often as possible, usually for up to 2 hour at a go, having to walk away for a while to re-evaluate whats going on and then return!!
