Gallery Karen Thompson
I am a self-taught artist with a passion for portraits of adults, children, and family pets. I especially enjoy painting miners and have become involved with many mining communities countrywide, where they've taken me into their hearts and are very appreciative of my work which evokes memories of their time down the mines and of the lifelong friendships made.
I primarily work in pastel, as they are odourless and can be manipulated with great ease and speed. Each portrait is an original, inspired by favourite photographs. I feel honoured to be trusted with personal memories in order to create a piece of art that may be treasured for generations to come.
