Karren Burkett

My work is rooted in the exploration of light and its transformative effects on the world around us. Primarily using oils, I am captivated by the way light interacts with landscapes and florals, creating an ever changing dialogue between colour, shadow, and form. While oils remain my primary medium, I occasionally venture into pastels and charcoal, allowing me to express my vision through different textures and techniques.

In my landscapes, I seek to capture the fleeting moments when light imbues nature with a sense of magic and wonder. Each painting is an attempt to freeze these ephemeral experiences and share the beauty I see with my audience. Similarly, my floral paintings focus on the delicate interplay of light and petals, highlighting the intricate details and vibrant colours that often go unnoticed.

My artistic journey is fuelled by a fascination with how light can alter perceptions and evoke emotions. Through my work, I aim to invite viewers into a world where light is the protagonist, revealing the hidden beauty in everyday scenes and inviting contemplation of the natural world's subtle nuances.
