Karen Pirie
Fox Hunt. Repurposing the cork backed placemat and wooden door panel.
Karen Pirie is an artist living in Mansfield. The artworks she creates are not only inspired by her surroundings in where she lives in North East Victoria, but often reference her birth county New Zealand.
Working in ceramic, printmaking, weaving and repurposing materials she likes to tell a story and bring a 'smile to the mind'.
