Karen Horn

Biography

Born in Auxerre, France in 1984. As far as I can remember I always loved drawing, but my love for perfumes and chemistry led me to study science. When I reached University, I realized that enjoyed drawing cells and flowers more than the actual facts in biology classes so I decided to give up University and get back to Art. I attended a year foundation in art at the Atelier Albers in Paris. It followed by 2 years studies in visual merchandising at MJM Graphic design in Paris. I have been working full time as visual merchandiser for the past 7 years now but I am always drawn back to painting, so in my spare time I paint as much as I can. Everything inspires me, a flower half eaten by a snail, nature that grows where it shouldn't and of course my beautiful daughter. I am still searching for style and my identity as an artist, so I am trying a bit of everything at the moment!
