Hi and welcome to my art studio.! You are visitor number ...
Hi and welcome to my art studio.! You are visitor number come on in, sit down and make yourself at home, I’ll go put the kettle on :) / Framed original paintings hanging in my studio Due to the lovely Robin Pushe’e requesting i post some photos of my studio…i took a few clicks…and here it is.. my studio is a double garage that was purpose built for the job. It is detached from the house, and large enough for me to pursue all my creative projects. also you will see Madonna & Child hanging in the restaurant Chill Cafe at the Manly Arts Festival in Sydney…along with the other winning entries :) The photo was most graciously taken by the lovely bubbler Samantha Goode who was kind enough to go out of her way for me to take some photos so i would have an idea of how it all looked…Thank you so much Sam!! The centre ‘tables’ were specially made to our specifications, and the other furniture all bought from Ikea / .... piece I’m currently working on with my pencil drawing of Lost and Found sitting next to it for reference, plus lots of other references, and there’s all that lovely light pouring in the window. / Large framed originals of Midnight Blues and Polly’s Pearls on studio floor / Here’s one of Karin working on Madonna & Child on brown paper, alongside for reference are Stargazer and Jess n Jumbo Karin working on the intial stages of what will become Scuba Diva I’m using chalk pastels here to fill in the large areas, then I’ll spray fixative and work in the shadows and final touches with acrylic, ink and charcoal. / Main work area, covered in reference material. I paint on the slanted easel table, some of the sketches on brown paper for Children of the World series are visible, ie I Luv Lollies and Scuba Diva. Setting the studio up took about a year of planning from initial inception. If you look closely you can see my matryoshka (russian doll) blanks in the far background. Also notice the mirror, mirrors are very important in art, if you have a problem with a drawing, look at it in the mirror (for a reversed image) and you will be able to tell what’s wrong… turning your drawing upside down will also help to reveal where the problem is. I also use the mirror if I need a reference such as feet, hands, and don’t have an image…i will sketch my own hands, feet, face….you have to be a bit of a contortionist sometimes! lol I like to hang the things that inspire me on the clothesline, including makeshift plaits from wool and dried out teabags for use in mix media applications…special greeting cards I’ve collected along the way, or particular artists that always inspire me. / A bit boring this image, my PC and printer…and messy desk area, where I work on digital colouring, etc and keep up with what’s going on here at Red Bubble / A sample of some of my canvas prints on studio floor, including Whale Dancers Two Dolls and Pearl of the Sea storage space, purpose built for the job (it’s great to have a place for rolls of stuff and keeps things nice n clean) / (more storage and the top of these benches serves as a terrific workspace and layout area. I’ve used it to create small studio and lighting effects to photograph the CHUNKIES and jewellery. You can just make out Jack and Jill on the brown paper on top of bench Loose and matted originals out on the bench, getting sorted into display folders, and frames being sanded back and refreshed after some were damaged during gallery transit Karin at work on award winner Madonna & Child with Stargazer’s flippers peeping out! Works created on brown paper, cut out and pasted onto digitally designed or plain backgrounds for maximum effect. a clearer view of the workspace from another angle, bit messy hey! The set of drawers to the right is fabulous.. it’s on castors and moves..the drawers are slimline and pull out so easily…they are full of inks, pastels, acrylics, mediums, icecream lids (for mixing paint), stamps i’ve made from cubed erasors and lots of other odds and ends. Karin gets stuck into a painting…. am often completely unaware of how much paint gets all over my face, hair, hands… kids come home from school and just giggle at me, ‘til i realise…. i’m covered in stuff and need a good scrub :) Getting lost in the moment can do that to you :) Can you see my wool plaits I use as hair models in the background, there’s a normal plait and a fishtail plait, both help me to recreate drawings of plaits…. I also use a lot of fashion mags for reference, particular for eyes, faces and fashion ideas. My bookcase is bending under the weight of all my reference books. To the right, can you see my set of drawers? In there I store colour coded fabrics and materials for my mixed media work. view of some more storage space and looking back out into our backyard which is looking very green and tropical, there’s the large roll of brown paper I’ve been using. Madonna and Child High Gloss Mounted Print on Gatorboard hanging at a Manly Cafe in Sydney during the Manly Art Festival ‘08. Other Photos Karin with Madonna & Child (newspaper photo) Range of tshirts I ordered for friends and family for Christmas ‘08 from Red Bubble, included are Jess n Jumbo Tshirt, Pearl of the Sea TShirt, Asia Blue tshirt and Little Green Teapot tshirt / Here’s Karin with a collection of her CHUNKIES a series of characters created from plasticine! This photo was for a media release. / Karin (blurrily) modelling her niece’s Little Multicolour Teapot tee on aqua in girly fit style, sorry for the blur…definitely not blurred in real life! / Karin with Asia Calendar / Karin wearing her Pirate Chick tshirt design, purchased from Red Bubble Karin in studio wearing a tee by Keith Richardson with the ‘chop’ initials he created In the background I have large white foamcore sheets onto which i thumbtack references torn from magazines and newspapers, you can use both the front and back and they are lightweight and portabe…a large sheet of foamcore is somewhere between $10 and $20 – handy stuff. On one I have kids fashion, clothing, plaits, kids in different poses, on another depictions of faces and in particular eyes so that I can study them and keep on track with the anatomy of them, I have another one covered in roses… they are also useful for pinning a display, or an artwork on paper, so i can take it inside and view it over a period of days…then decide what it does or doesn’t need…. all this while doing the ironing and other domestic things…so the mind is ever on the go thinking about art, and solutions to creative problems. / View through the window, of some of my original works on paper, includes Thoughts Become Things (girl in bathtub) and Little Green Teapot (my most popular image on red bubble) and Heart of Gold (girl on horse), also in view are Maiden Voyage (asian inspired sailing boat), Kiss Away my Tears (mother and daughter with rabbit) and Endless Love (asian princess in navy and gold) / Here’s some of the stuff I collect when I’m walking around, twigs, coral, flowers, dried leaves, unusual seaweeds, aboriginal artefacts/axes…tools/precious rocks, dead palm fronds, grasses, paper bark, seeds, shells, dead crustacean shells, textures…etc. just a bower bird really…love shiny things that glitter too :) Can you see the dried flannel flowers in the frame? I grew them, and mum pressed and framed them for me. I also collect May Gibbs work, and there’s my son’s beautiful ship drawing to the left. / ...a few more odds n ends, including my matryoshka blanks, which I’m yet to paint! / ...tools of the trade, an assortment of coloured pencils, charcoal and brushes / Bookcase bending under the weight of reference materials I’ve collected…on top my coveted collection of ‘Art Collector’ magazine along with a stack of “art almanacs’ and ‘art gallery guide australia’... / ...bit messy, but you get the idea, drawers full of fabric and other things i’ve found, colour coded, ready to use in mixed media applications. / Display table full of promotional materials, ie postcards, pamphlets, business cards, samples of art stretched onto tiny canvases, one of my giclee resin necklaces depicting Beach Shed Chic and a couple of matryoshka dolls (collections, not my own work)... also there’s the book illustrated by myself and written by iAN Derrick called She Sells Sea Cards By the Sea Shore the the Griffith Review in which my art Baby Bull Productions was featured…plus some other books written by friend Bob and amazing vector art by Matt Mawson / ...more tools of trade, watercolour crayons and gesso….you all know how much i love gesso :) Total Visits

She moves like the wind that flows through the fabric of her kimono and she floats as if she were born from the clouds. Legend hails her as a monster and it is from the mountains she came; her life was given to Kintoki as his wet nurse, who became the strongman. Her strength was given to another and her life will live on…” / ~ Carrie Glenn / CarrieGlennStudios.Com

Like a star with no light remaining, void of all purpose and all alone in this world, she sits. Alone, the wierd and strange of the unfamiliar environment surround her. It envelopes her equally unfamiliar body which now feels the cold, damp air crawl over her, as if under her new skin. She lifts her head to see past it, but fog of evil regret, of passed mistakes, obscure her view. Darkness keeps her comany now, something she has never witnessed before, although, she has heard many people speak of it, of their fears about it. Fear, a barrier that she will have to learn to overcome, or to live with, like the mere mortals she has tried to protect from it – forever til this point. Cast out, she beckons death! Cast down, like torrents from Heaven, all power, removed from her very soul. Fallen! Its a sad day when Angels fall.
