Join Albury-based artist, Karen Brown, as she shares information about her artistic journey, including her influences, processes and what excites her about drawing.

About the Artist

Karen Brown is an Albury‑based artist whose work is inspired by the natural environment along the Murray River. Her highly detailed drawings encourage viewers to notice the fine textures and tiny details in everyday natural and man‑made objects.

Working with graphite pencils, fine liner pens, and coloured pencils, Karen creates artworks that appear almost photographic. She also teaches coloured pencil, graphite, and ink‑stippling techniques through workshops and private tutoring, aiming to broaden appreciation for coloured pencil art.

A Resident Artist at Art Gallery on Ovens in Wangaratta, Karen’s work is held in public and private collections. She recently won an award at the King Valley Art Show for her graphite drawing Winter.
