Karen tookpart in the Skipton Open Studios 2016.

"The ‘Cost Narrative’ is frequently found in Religious iconography. For this reason the icons and annotated sketches I have contributed to this Exhibition ‘Cost’ tell the story of Saints, young and old, who have paid the ultimate ‘Cost’ of following Christ with their lives. From the teenage Saints of Pancras and Margaret of Antioch to John the Forerunner and Helier, who lost their heads as a result of their Christian beliefs."
