Karin is a figurative artist based in Oxford, UK, working from a garden studio where she paints in oils.

She has been drawing and painting from an early age, encouraged by her artist grandmother, who taught her to sketch and gave her first paints. Largely self-taught, her work is informed by a psychology degree, a brief period at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Grasse, a love of colour and opulence, and a longstanding fascination with medieval and Renaissance art.

For most of her adult life, she worked in marketing, until a serious illness prompted her to re-evaluate her priorities. In 2021, she left her desk job and returned to painting full-time.

Since then, she has exhibited across the UK, including Oxford, Brighton, and London, and her paintings have been acquired by collectors in the UK, Europe, and the United States.
