The Art of Karen Curran
Reflective art, storytelling and more amidst quiet wonder
You are so much more than you imagine!
My current paintings over the past 10 years focus on the spiritual and interpretation of dreaming/magical/ethereal and elementals. My paintings often tell a story or inspire imagination.
Some of them are will be available as prints.

Quiet Wonder YOUTUBE
Calendar 2025 'An Enchanted Garden' self published featured my (Karen Curran) illustrations and garden photos throughout.
'Evolving' is a recent Sunday afternoon watercolour painting where I went for a walk, picked up a leaf and painted my impressions afterwards.
A mini pictorial journey of my new illustration 'A New Beginning'.
Watercolours, metallics, archival brown ink pen.
All my illustrations tell a story.
This one is encouraging the viewer to look forward ... encourage someone to look forward. It depicts transitions, symbolised by a fresh green shoot emerging from a seed planted long ago. This shoot has now grown into a flourishing tree, brimming with love, healing, blessings, and endless possibilities.
This video is an example of my process of developing an illustration for a full design project I created some years ago. The lyrebird is a favourite illustration for me.
