Dec 12 Artist Spotlight - Karen Smith

Biography

I am a self-taught digital artist and illustrator. I began my journey by displaying my work in local galleries and outlets who sold independent artworks. To gain further experience and expand my creativity, I took commissions for poster art and logos from musicians and various services.

My vocation, however, was in commercial art and so I sought interest in the art licensing world and eventually found a suitable agent with whom I have worked for the last five years. It has been an interesting journey and one which has placed my work in several major home décor retailers. I also create art independently to sell online via my website and other outlets.

Artist Statement

I am a digital artist and illustrator, working primarily with stock imagery and my own illustrations, both in combination and separately. I love to experiment with different techniques and mixed media, and am influenced by street graffiti and crazy abstracts.
My main role is in art licensing where versatility is key and has therefore, expanded my art repertoire.
