Karen Wallis is based in Bath, South West
Karen Wallis draws and paints the everyday world. She is curious about the role of images and how they are perceived by the viewer, in particular how visual rhetoric influences their perceptions through historical reference, methods of display and curatorial input. If appropriate, her projects can extend into installation, intervention, performance or digital media.
