Living on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Karen Hick is surrounded by endless inspiration — from the ocean’s ever-changing hues to the tranquil bushland that frames the peninsula. Her artworks are a reflection of these breathtaking surroundings, often created through expressive mark making, layered tones, and textured details.

Painting intuitively, Karen allows each piece to evolve naturally, resulting in works that are entirely unique. She hopes to take viewers on a visual journey — one that stirs emotions, memories, and a sense of place. Often described as ethereal, her paintings shift in mood throughout the day as the light changes, creating an almost living presence within each work.

For Karen, painting is not just a profession but a deeply fulfilling practice — one that brings her joy, peace, and purpose every day.
