Karen's Art, Stories & Illustration

My current paintings over the past 10 years focus on the spiritual and interpretation of dreaming/magical/ethereal and elementals. My paintings often tell a story or inspire imagination.
Some of them are available as prints at
Etsy KarenCurranArt 

Earlier paintings throughout my life from teen, to young adult, to middle years - are on this Retro page here.

Calendar 2025 'An Enchanted Garden' self published featured my (Karen Curran) illustrations and garden photos throughout.

'Evolving' is a recent Sunday afternoon watercolour painting where I went for a walk, picked up a leaf and painted my impressions afterwards.

A mini pictorial journey of my new illustration 'A New Beginning'.

Watercolours, metallics, archival brown ink pen.

All my illustrations tell a story.

This one is encouraging the viewer to look forward ... encourage someone to look forward. It depicts transitions, symbolised by a fresh green shoot emerging from a seed planted long ago. This shoot has now grown into a flourishing tree, brimming with love, healing, blessings, and endless possibilities.

This video is an example of my process of developing an illustration for a full design project I created some years ago. The lyrebird is a favourite illustration for me.

I honour the custodians of sacred stories, of dreamings, and the connections with the deep earth.
As a resident of the beautiful Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia I acknowledge the Dharug and the Gundungurra Nations as the traditional custodians of this beautiful land in which we live and I honour and pay my respects to the Elders past and present and becoming, with blessings of peace.
