‘l like to think I am a bit of a minimalist; I prefer to omit things and paint with a close eye on colour, on balance and a bit of quirk. I am also quite taken by the empty beaches of the New Zealand coastline, our hills and the raw, and super-exciting elements.
I am drawn to all that, and sometimes seek to cement in my painted work (and during my I-phone excursions, which you can now find under my ‘the sea etc‘ tab) how I find joy in solitude as well.
Over the years Karin has been fascinated by experimenting with anything that lends itself to paint on, often using wooden surfaces, making bold moves adjacent to careful ones, creating colour explosions paired with more empty, quieter spaces.
Absolutely delicious creative fun.
'When I am not in my studio you will likely find me in the garden where I love rummaging and planting anything native. I am super interested in more minimalist Architecture, in colour, good design and some space in one way or another to be alone, to enjoy skies, to think…!
I also really enjoy teaching (art), tutoring life-drawing classes, and hosting private painting students from time to time.' Commissions are welcome.
