Karen Arribas

I am originally from the UK and moved to Australia about 10 years ago. I love it here and decided to make it my home. I met my husband and had a little girl. I have drawn and painted all my life. My degree is in printed textiles and I worked as 3D Games designer for 5 years.
However I moved away from being creative since I came to OZ and worked in recruitment and number of other office roles……..but you cant keep an artist down and recently I’ve come back to my artist roots and raring to go. I realise I love love to create and its what I need to do and all I want to do.
My niche is mixed media whimsical, mystical characters. I mainly like to draw ladies and sometimes animals. I like to show the feminine strength in the form of fairies, mermaids or other fantastical creatures in colourful ways.
I’m addicted to beautiful paper, watercolour and various other art materials as I discover more and more incredible art techniques. I like to try different techniques and you may find my style changes slightly which each new discovery. I use anything I find interesting and I usually find most of my most interesting paper in the Op shops.
