Karen Bishop Artist

Karen was born in Cheltenham, England, and moved to Canada in the winter of 1992. When she first arrived in Canada she discovered a passion for painting and in 2002 graduated from the University of Alberta's Extension centre with a Fine Arts certificate. Since then Karen has been pursuing her art career full time preferring to paint on location where she can allow the painting to unfold depending on the emotions the scene invokes and the weather conditions! For Karen art is an escape from the everyday, a chance to experience the earth more fully.
