Welcome to another episode of Women United ART PODCAST, this time with Karen Turner -  an award-winning figurative artist whose oil paintings are a commentary on the weight of expectations. 

Born in London in 1978, Karen spent many of her school years in Geneva before returning to the UK to attend Hampstead Fine Arts College in London.  Now living and working on the Suffolk / Norfolk border, her work focuses on the physical body and the scrutiny to which is it commonly subjected.

Listen to the ladies chat about Karen’s journey into the artworld, her career experiences and the powerful message behind her art that highlights the beauty of the female body.
