Karen Turner
Figure and portrait artist Karen Turner’s home studio is located at the Eye of Suffolk, UK.
“Women feature prominently in my work, and my focus frequently is on the physical body and the impact that it has on a woman’s life and sense of self. Often my figures are close cropped to represent the direct scrutiny a woman’s body is regularly placed under, judged not only on its ability to look pleasing, but also on its ability to live up to expectations around reproduction and motherhood.”
