About "Swimming Pool"

Explores shadows and light. I wanted to show how the deeper blue enhances the turquoise blue of the sunlit water and vice versa. The theme is followed through further in the brightly lit paving against the deep dark shadows of the cracks.

About Karen

There is sometimes a quirky sense of humour to my work, I like creating scenarios you would not see in real life that let you wonder about them. I like to show there is beauty in the mundane and the everyday. I am more likely to portray a humble pig than a proud lion, a simple rock rather than a grand vista. Every painting has a story and has meant something to me.

My family and I immigrated to South Africa from the UK in the 70[0x1]s, where we have lived ever since. I love South Africa and I love living here and I can[0x1]t imagine living anywhere else. Growing up here, art became my favourite subject at school, I won the art prize one year and I dreamed of becoming a famous artist.
I went on to study Fine Art at Wits University, majoring in Painting. After graduation, I left the art world and pursued a different career. Later my interest and desire to create art grew until I try to paint every single day.
