Karen Wise

A Cheshire artist, Karen studied under painter and sculpturess Golda Rose for 8 years.
Prior to that, she did an art foundation in Northwitch and Fashion Design in Manchester.

“As an artist the development of the creative imagination interests me most. I am inspired from both the inner experience of self-discovery and my observations of the world around me. The human form has always been dominant as a subject and colour plays a primary role in my work, evoking intense feeling and a wonderful harmony of the senses.”
