Born in 1966, Karen James moved to the
Hawkesbury, N.S.W. Australia, with her family in 1980. Throughout
childhood she enjoyed taking photographs & drawing - a passion
which has been nurtured in her adult life by studying painting,
drawing and photography, with many different teachers. For 15
years she worked in the art department of a large printing company,
leaving in mid 1997 to prepare for her first exhibition, 'Drawn
from Life', with fellow Hawkesbury artist Jennifer Lloyd.
In January 1998, she embarked on a 6 month period of volunteer
teaching in Kenya, living with the local people in rural western
Kenya and painting in her spare time. This led to an exhibition
back in Australia, in March 1999, the theme 'A Journey through
Kenya'. In January 2000, Karen moved to New Zealand, to live in
the pictuesque seaside town of Kaikoura. Along with husband, Bob,
they built "Homewood Hill Gallery" to exhibit her work.
