Karen's Art, Stories & Illustration
My current paintings over the past 10 years focus on the spiritual and interpretation of dreaming.
Earlier paintings throughout my life from teen, to young adult, to middle years - are on this Retro page here.
Calendar 2025 'An Enchanted Garden' self published featured my (Karen Curran) illustrations and garden photos throughout.
'Evolving' is a recent Sunday afternoon watercolour painting where I went for a walk, picked up a leaf and painted my impressions afterwards.
A mini pictorial journey of my new illustration 'A New Beginning'.
Watercolours, metallics, archival brown ink pen.
All my illustrations tell a story.
This one is encouraging the viewer to look forward ... encourage someone to look forward. It depicts transitions, symbolised by a fresh green shoot emerging from a seed planted long ago. This shoot has now grown into a flourishing tree, brimming with love, healing, blessings, and endless possibilities.
This video is an example of my process of developing an illustration for a full design project I created some years ago. The lyrebird is a favourite illustration for me.
