My studio is nestled in the middle of the Julimar Forest in Moondyne WA. I paint and sculpt.
“I like it when I get a physical reaction from people when they view my art.
By expressing the fierceness of a female, the ridiculous in a scenario, a message turned into humour to soften the blow- breaking down barriers to acceptance. Blurring the edges of reality and hopefully making people smile and to think and create conversation. Like squeezing a bit of lemon juice into a cut

About Karen Chappelow
I like it when I get a physical reaction from people when they view my art. I like the whimsy, fun, sometimes political and sexual nature of life.
I love trying to express the fierceness of a female along with the shy, bold and often vulnerable side and I try to challenge social norms sometimes like squeezing a bit of lemon juice into a cut.
The expressionist nature of my work tries to blur the edges of reality and hopefully makes people smile, wonder and sometimes to think and create conversation.
