Karren Whalen

Biography

I took up art 10 years ago having not been active since my school days apart from stuff with my children and grand children. I have always loved being creative in many ways like photography, textiles, flower arranging and any type of crafts. My husband persuaded me to join his art group when I was made redundant and I have not looked back since. Sadly because of a part time job I can only attend that group once in a blue moon and I am at present looking for a new art group. We have great art days at home with grand children. I love having journals, one for holidays, one for urban sketching and I have recently been inspired by Ann Mortimer to start one on my beloved garden. My main interest is pen and wash, water colour, pencils, pastels and acrylic.
