Karen H Leveridge is a self taught artist specialising in animal portraiture.
Having retired her work as a tattoo artist of 27 years (10 of which was spent running her own studio 'Curiosities'), Karen now works in a variety of mediums including pastels, charcoal, pencils and fabric.
Her ever-growing collection of art features her favourite subject of animal wildlife and people's pets. She likes to meet the animals she paints in order to capture the unique characteristics and individuality of the subject.
Karen lives off-grid in a railway carriage on the beautiful Norfolk coast with her partner Reuben and 2 dogs Pig and Bluebell, who feature in a lot of her artwork.
