Hello, I’m Karin O'Malley an abstract artist based in Perth WA.
My passion is painting abstract landscapes and botanicals, primarily with acrylics and mixed media with some oils. I have a love of colour and texture and find great joy and happiness in the process and hope this comes through in my work. My Paternal Grandmother was a beautiful water colour and oil artist so I spent many an hour in her studio in my younger years. I’m mostly a self taught artist but have done some art classes.
Creativity has always been an integral part of my life in one form or another. I also love to experiment with different styles and techniques - the only constant I have in most of my artwork is a signature touch of gold paint or gold leaf.
I grew up in the Pilbara and take great inspiration from the visually stunning and amazing colours of the Northwest of WA. Our family have an annual pilgrimage to Marble Bar where we reset. It’s a beautiful, peaceful and spiritual part of Australia.
