Irish artist Karen Gourley, Belfast

I grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland and always had an interest in drawing and art. After finishing school I went to art college but decided on a different career path and art became a hobby. I began painting again in recent years after being introduced to pastels by a artist friend and I was hooked. I now paint animals and landscapes inspired by the beautiful scenery and light in New Zealand
