‘Safe Passage’   16th April – 5th May

Recently the emphasis of my new body of work is about looking at connections to the sea with a much wider focus. The needless loss of life at sea is an in-escapable current concern.  Movement of people across Europe and globally feature in a new series of artwork engaging with these issues of mortality. An emotive exhibition that looks at the treacherous journeys people are enduring.  Please click on the link below to see some of the new series of paintings.

Safe Passage slides

This exhibition will also be displaying copies of paintings made by Syrian children aged between 6-16, living in refugee camps in Lebanon. Some of the artworks reflect the trauma that the young people have experienced, while others are more hopeful and optimistic. This exhibition has been kindly lent by organiser Baraa Ehsaan Kouja, a Syrian student at the University of Exeter. Founder of the initiative:  http://fromsyriawithlove.com/

“Breath”
Karen’s work makes connections with our environment.  Showing will be a new series of paintings, original prints, and three-dimensional work.  Her art is linked to understanding and making connections with the changing climate by representing depictions of the atmosphere and nature.  Water focuses strongly in this show.  The resource of water at an elementary level is celebrated through colourful depictions; rendered within the context of looking at the oxygen and the water-cycle at a fundamental level.  Inhale nature through the pigments of micro-organisms that relate in this cycle.

During this period the artist will be inviting the public to engage with the work and participate in workshops in the space.
