Karen Osborne
Karen studied the history of art and fine art at De Montfort University, Leicester. After a career as a Creative Director in the stills photography industry, she re-established herself as an artist in her home studio in Surrey in 2019.
Working largely in acrylic and mixed media, Karen works intuitively to create expressive, colourful, energetic works on canvas, board and paper. She has developed a fluid semi-abstract style, with expressive mark making and the balance of line, mark and colour as her foundation.
Karen takes her inspiration from nature in all its forms; from the detail of a single garden flower to the wild sweep of countryside and coast. Her fascination with the beauty of the world informs her work. Subverting the way that we see nature by abstracting and removing detail, she makes us stop and focus on the energy of a place.
Karen is a member of both the United Art Space and Louise Fletcher’s Art Tribe. She was longlisted in the 2023 and 2024 VAO Art Prize, and was a finalist in the 2023 Women in Art Awards.
