Paintings

Available work

Contemporary abstract landscapes inspired by memory, atmosphere, and the feeling of open space.

The paintings are created using acrylic, pastel and charcoal. Each canvas is float framed in a discreet tray moulding, allowing the side of the canvas to be visible showing the extension of the artwork as it wraps around the depth of the canvas. Worldwide shipping is available for all artworks.

"Every painting I make fills me with excitement and freedom. I love every one of them. A new canvas is like a brand new day."

The Rolling Ridge, by Karen Welsh (view larger)

The Rolling Ridge

"At a Summer outdoor Art Fair, I was excited to come upon Karen's paintings. Clearly inspired by the rolling countryside of Wiltshire and Dorset, the boldness of colour and shapes displayed a rarely seen originality of approach. I could not pass by, so one of the landscapes is now displayed in my hall way."
Cecilia, August 2020
The Sea Upon These Hills, by Karen Welsh (view larger)

The Sea Upon These Hills

"Karen's paintings jumped out at me from across the Greencroft at a Salisbury Art Exhibition. On closer inspection I really liked her use of colour and shape forming abstract landscapes and was attracted to one painting in particular. A visit to her gallery saw me buying two of her paintings that captivated me and are a constant source of pleasure in my home."
Simon, August 2020
Battlesbury Hill - Warminster, by Karen Welsh (view larger)

Battlesbury Hill - Warminster

"Karen is such a versatile artist…….. and a dangerous one too. From ‘Lola the Chicken’ through two more Wylye Valley landscapes, she was the natural choice when we thought of commissioning a painting of one of our favourite views. The result is just what we had in mind – bold, colourful, with plenty of Karen’s artistic licence, yet true to the essence of the subject. Stunning!"
Richard and Caroline, January 2020
