Karlene describes herself as a Mixed Media artist and an instinctive photographer having had no formal training. As a frustrated painter she decided if she couldnt paint the beautiful scenes surrounding her then she would capture them via photographs! Moving to Spencer in late 2009 has provided her with unlimited opportunities to photograph the natural beauty of the areas flora and fauna.
The ever changing face of the Hawkesbury River was the inspiration for her very first canvas prints. Karlene also works in collaboration with fellow Ferry Artist, Paul Bujak, creating mixed media works with fibre and natural objects such as stone shell and wood.
