Karen is a self-taught coloured pencil artist from the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne. She began drawing at an early age, encouraged by artistic parents. Lots of time spent in the outdoors as a child fostered a lifelong love of animals and wildlife. She dabbled in a little wildlife art in her early twenties, then put away her pencils to concentrate on family life and children, and after a 15 year break began drawing again in 2018 to work on some pet portraits for friends and family.

Michelle Sturrock Art
As an artist, my work is a reflection of my personal experiences and emotions. I believe that art has the power to connect people and evoke emotions, and I strive to create pieces that resonate with my audience on a deep level.
My mediums of choice are graphite, charcoal, pastel, watercolour and acrylic paint. I focus on the contrast between light and dark. I am constantly inspired by nature and the world around me, and I often incorporate elements of nature into my work.
