Karen Goddard is a Queensland based artist known for her bold use of colour and diverse compositions, ranging from still life to abstract works. Deeply inspired by her surroundings in South Africa and Australia, Karen’s art explores emotional responses to nature through impressionistic layers and mark making. Her recent series blends native floral studies with abstract overlays, where vibrant strokes bring rhythm and order to layered, expressive canvases. Favouring both oils and acrylics, she crafts each piece with deliberate brushwork, capturing movement, mood, and beauty in her environment. Her work evokes reflection, peace, and a deep connection to the natural world.
