BIOGRAPHY
Karin works out of her PS Art Space Studio in Fremantle, Western Australia. Before Karin had embarked on a life of painting she was drawn to visit art galleries at any opportunity. First practical encounter with art was a night drawing class followed by painting classes. From then on the desire to paint has never left her despite the many challenges of life. It was after painting for some years that Karin undertook a degree in painting from Curtin University. Painting is a process that Karin finds absorbing and demanding. She particularly likes the challenge of finding the right mix of colours for her paintings.

STATEMENT
Karin Morris is a landscape painter of the natural and built environment. She is an expressive artist who likes to use bright and bold colours. Karin prefers oil paints due to their luminosity.
