Storytime runs three times per week.
Join us in welcoming Karen Brown, our first Artist in Residence in the Creative Studio for 2026!
Based in Albury, Karen finds inspiration in the ordinary, the obvious and the overlooked. Her highly detailed, realistic artworks invite viewers to pause and appreciate the intricate textures and colours of everyday objects - both natural and man-made.
While Karen paints in acrylics, her true passion lies in drawing. Using graphite pencils, fine liners and coloured pencils, she creates works that appear almost photographic, encouraging a closer look at the world around us.
In recent years, Karen has expanded her practice to include workshops and private tutoring, sharing her expertise in coloured pencil, graphite and ink stippling techniques. Her mission is to elevate the perception of coloured pencils within the arts community and beyond.
