About Karyn
I am a London based portrait artist working mainly from photographs, predominantly in oils. I use colour, composition and expressive mark-making to describe my subject.
I am exhibiting at the EFOA Open House event on the 25th/26th June and 2nd/3rd July 2022 (11am to 6pm).
Come and see me and my work at House 04.
My Work
Faces fascinate me and I like to capture an ambiguous expression, a moment in time. Portrait painting has always intrigued me offering a glimpse into the lives of others exploring themes such as identity, emotions and culture.
