    Winged Bag

    I must say this is my favourite bag of all time: Demonia’s Heart Shaped Winged Bag. My creation is made from red and black leather with chakra stones running down the centre and stones on the tips of the wings. Due to general wear and tear, I updated the bag. It now has added sparkle

    Pinstripe Skirt

    This is an Edinburgh Woollen Mill skirt I remastered to look like a skirt I liked from Cyberdog. Frank had the idea of the tail coat feature at the back. Helping me to pose is Harlequin.

  • About Karen

    I think very early on my art style got labelled as ‘Kitsch’, and after looking into it, I could only agree.

    I started my art education after high school doing an Advanced GNVQ in Art and Design at Norwich City College. Something I am very sad to see that they no longer teach.

    During my GNVQ course I was asked to paint a poppy field / open field scene on the walls of the homepathic treatment room at the Bramerton Health Care Clinc.

    After this I graduated from the Art School in Norwich with a BA (Hons) in Visual Studies – also no longer taught.

    While I’m currently just having fun building my art portfolio, one of my long term ambitions is to work with/for a company like Hangman.co.uk who supplied us with our stage curtain frame for Achtung! Cabaret.

    You want artwork with a kitsch edge? Well you’ve come to the right place!
