Artist Statement:
Visions and dreams…..they come
unbidden and an artist is
compelled to express them.
The patterns of my life
experiences and the colours of
my emotions crowd within,
making me long to have them
resonate again in the heart of
at least one other. My work
is therefore a series of very
personal statements.
When someone looks at my
imagery, I want them to hear
my voice and I want them to
see the many hues of joy and
pathos filtered through my
vision. In the beginning, my
work was almost always
representational and
figurative. The realism of
the early watercolours later
gave way to other media and
more stylised work depicting
creatures and places which
seem to belong to a time other
than the present. Born in my
imagination, they reflect many
of my own interests and
passions: music, literature,
theatre and dance.
As my life changes, so does
the work. It cannot be
otherwise. In whatever
direction the work moves, it
is always my hope that it will
touch and uplift, and ignite
the observer’s own emotions.
This is why I am an artist.

Marty Walsh
Surprise! Martha told me you were here now. Just had to pop by!

This is amazing work Karen. As you see I have come back again for another look. I especially like the new pieces called Slipstream, Swansong, Songbird and of course Tree House. The colour and textures in these works are so beautiful and the clever designs are really splendid. You are certainly a gifted artist.The work is just getting better and better.
