Rooted in a lifelong passion for art and shaped by global travel and diverse cultural and nature based experiences, Karen’s creative practice weaves together painting, illustration, architecture, and design, all deeply informed by the natural world. Her work draws on the forms, systems, and quiet intelligence of nature, often referencing native plants and ecological patterns. Biomimicry serves as both an aesthetic and functional framework, guiding her approach. Slowing down becomes a deliberate act, enabling reflection and connection with the landscape, fostering ecological awareness and encourages stewardship of the spaces we inhabit. Whether through a drawing, a landscape plan, or a spatial concept, each piece reflects a quiet dialogue and seeks to cultivate meaningful relationships between the built environment and the living world.
