Karen Laurence-Rowe
Karen Laurence-Rowe was born in Uganda – daughter to a civil engineer. Her family
lived a nomadic existence spending much of their time in some of East Africa's most
beautiful and unspoiled landscapes – teaming with wildlife and dramatic scenery.
"The beauty of Africa is ingrained in my blood – I love its untamed and often harsh
beauty – its unpredictability. Africa is changing so fast – we are losing so much, I
feel compelled to get it down – now – before it is lost forever."
Karen is a self taught painter and although studied Graphic Design and worked in
Advertising for some years, in time, she began to explore the joy of Fine Art and has
slowly developed a style which is fast becoming popular to her clients at home in
Kenya and in the British and American Markets.
In May of 2012, Karen won the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of
the Year Awards held at the Mall Galleries in London. She was winner of
the Endangered Species category and voted overall winner of this
prestigious annual event.
