About this event
Brimming with joy and humour, Alfresco is a collection of paintings by artists and friends Karen McEndoo and Katharine Nicholls featuring relatable moments of human and animal characters enjoying food in outdoor settings.
It brings together works in oil, acrylic and inks by these two Cornwall-based artists and long-time friends.
Katharine Nicholls originally trained as a textile designer before moving into the animation industry, where she worked as a background painter across different TV, film and commercial productions. She is also a Senior Lecturer on BA(Hons) Animation at Falmouth University. As a storytelling medium, painting enables Katharine to combine all her creative passions.
Karen McEndoo was born in Surrey but her early life was spent in Africa, and that early influence can clearly be seen in her work. Rich colours, patterns and textures play across Karen’s canvases with musical rhythm, while her training as a graphic designer and illustrator informs her expressive, abstract style.
