Karen From Finance is the premiere 'corporate' queen of Melbourne, Australia. She has performed in award-winning shows across Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK. Karen (Richard Chadwick) and I met a few years ago before her performance at Enmore Theatre in Sydney. I expressed interest in painting her awhile back, and we finally had our first sitting in Melbourne just days before it was announced that she would be competing on Ru Paul's Drag Race. It was a joy to paint Karen while watching her perform on RPDR, and I was so proud to see her make it to the finale. We collaborated each step of the way on color scheme, outfit and those small details that make the Queen of Corporate so unique. This portrait is a campy celebration of all things Karen.
