Karen Goddard - A Garden Veiled in Colour

Original Artwork

About the Artwork:

This large scale joyful work is a painting on a painting full of layers, the final layer of mark making beautifully obscure the layers below, leading the viewer into the spaces in between the vast world of colour and contrast. The transformation between the layers is intriguing and calming, inspired by my tropical garden here on the Gold Coast.
