Karen Munck FCSD, SGFA
After an academic training at Croydon
College of Art I completed a post graduate fellowship at the School of Advanced
Studies in Manchester before embarking on a career as a highly successful
international designer. Having worked for many years as a designer I have, in
recent years, returned to my first loves, painting and printmaking.
All my life I have carried sketchbooks which provide a rich record of visual references of wherever I travel.
The beach at Shoreham, where I live, is an
endless source of inspiration; the weather - extreme, the textures - endless,
the colours and forms - a particular stimulus, a place of constant change and
variety. Apart from the beach my
subjects are frequently exotic landscapes, in Morocco, Spain and elsewhere.
I tend to work in series whether painting or printmaking and I am more interested in exploring the subject or medium than producing works and editions in large numbers.
I have exhibited in solo and group shows in the UK and Europe and have works in private collections both here and abroad.
