Karen lives and works in London, UK and is Head of Artist Development at SPACE Studios,  where she exhibited the Post-It note series Notes to Self (2024) and Notes on Love (2025).  

Most recently, these works were shown with charcoal drawings and etchings in Notes on Rest, at National Trust Allan Bank in Grasmere, UK as part of Women In Print (May - end June 2026).  This was the culmination of a residency with ArtLab Contemporary Print Studio in Preston, Lancs. The ongoing project, Notes to Self, was part of ​What are words worth 2U2?  at Gallery North, Newcastle Upon Tyne UK (April 2026)

In 2025  she completed a Time and Space Residency at Metal Southend, UK.  Her work has been included in Phaidon's Vitamin Txt and The World In A Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism by James Geary. 

​

Artist's processes (how and why we make) and artistic labour inform both her studio practice and her day job, as well as matters of the heart and self care.
