Karen Hale-Jackson
Born: 9th February 1956
Medium: Acrylic & Watercolour
Karen Hale-Jackson was born in Trinidad in 1956. Karen is a self taught artist - “I was born with a paint brush in my hand”. As a child she spent every spare moment drawing, painting, making paper dolls and designing their clothes.
After many years sabbatical, due to family commitments, Karen started back painting in full force in 2000 and showed her work for the first time in the “Women In Art” Exhibition in July of that year. She has shown at many joint exhibitions since then. Her first large exhibition was in 2002 when she had a joint show with her sisters at Horizon’s Art Gallery.
In September 2006 Karen decided to leave to corporate world and start painting full time. This lead to the conception of her art gallery, Full Circle Art Centre, which officially opened in January 2007. The gallery, situated at 54 Gallus Street, Woodbrook also houses a café . The idea is for people to come in to eat, unwind and enjoy the artwork of local artist.
It is Karen’s dream to encourage new artist to show their work and she has opened up her gallery to these enthusiastic new comers.
