Karen Keogh trained as an artist in the late 1970s, specialising in pottery at Roehampton University, London. While teaching ceramics, she developed a passion for printmaking and later studied the discipline at Morley College. Elected an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 2008 and a full member in 2011, she exhibits regularly at the Royal Academy. Her expressive colour etchings explore landscape and cityscape through rhythm, pattern, and atmosphere.
