KAREN BLOOMFIELD

Walking past the mangrove as I had hundreds of times before, my eye caught an unlikely shock of electric blue and for 60 magical seconds I stood two metres away from a sacred kingfisher as it jumped from mangrove branch to branch, watching me back all of the time. Flighty and exquisite, these beautiful creatures inhabit a huge swathe of Australian coastline but are shy. I felt so blessed!

An appreciation of these unique and delightful characters

Animals

I find the antics of animals & birds very, very human and enjoy immensely bringing those characters to life through my artworks and the scenarios I imagine for them.

Lola & Frankie will brighten any space with vibrancy & joy.

Ready to hang with both D-rings and plastic coated hanging wire. Varnished with odorless satin archival varnish.

My animal paintings bring each character into the spotlight!
I have always loved Magpies; their playful antics and big personalities. Nothing takes me back to being a child as quickly as the call of a Maggie.
