About Karen:
Karen Standke is a contemporary Landscape Artist who has worked and exhibited internationally for over two decades.
Her paintings are informed by thorough research into the changing face of the landscape and the impact of climate change, introduction of weeds and non native fauna and flora.
The signs of these impacts can be subtle and beautiful in themselves.
Karen’s paintings focus on the change in the environment -and thus the work questions how we respond emotionally? how do we respond practically to these challenges?
It is this juxtaposition that the artist is most interested in, informed by psychology, politics, religion and science.
