Karen Stamper an artist who works with line and colour. The excitement and emotions of colour and the rhythm of line.
Karen was born in Yorkshire but soon travelled south to sunnier climates. She then travelled and worked overseas for 10 years, the best companion being her sketchbook. Karen is a traveller, collector, observer and adventurer.
In new countries I draw each shape, shadow and surface. In my studio I recreate the compositions by flattening space, recomposing, concealing and revealing. Collage technique is versatile and immediate. Spontaneity of ripped and torn line has a controlled yet intuitive development that allows me a huge amount of freedom.
In the wintertime I teach in Cambridgeshire. In the summertime I run Art and Yoga Holidays in the south of France. www.acy-holidays.com
