Artist opens studio at Market Hall

 

An award-winning artist has opened a painting studio inside Shrewsbury Market Hall.

 

Karen Duffy, whose work is inspired by her years living in France and beside the British coast, specialises in seascapes and an Impressionist style of painting.

 

For 17 years she ran her own bespoke picture framing business in Paris, but the lure of art always beckoned and she spent a lot of time visiting Claude Monet's garden and house in Giverny.

Karen uses a semi-abstract style of painting and combines her love of luscious colour and lavish texture in most of her paintings, often working the canvas with the strokes, dabs and sweeps of a palette knife.

 

"I like my paintings to have a quirky original touch and I look to add texture and small areas of detail, combined with bright contrasting colour," she said.

Karen, who moved to Shrewsbury in August last year, now also specialises in animal paintings, including dog portraiture commissions which have been proving popular, and she teaches painting techniques one-to-one and in small groups.
