Collection: 'Becoming'

This painting is part of the 'Becoming’ collection, a curated ensemble of art that delves into the essence of creation as a path to self-discovery. It celebrates the narrative that the true masterpiece of an artist is not the final work, but the transformative journey of becoming that unfolds along the way.

The vibrant geometric patterns and bold markings done in acrylic and oil on the wood panel juxtapose the illustrative portraits, representing the milestones and obstacles encountered in the pursuit of self-knowledge and artistic expression. This contrast mirrors the dance between the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen parts of our journey.

Artist Bio

Karen Bramhill is a contemporary Ottawa-based artist whose portraits explore the intricacies of identity and the unspoken truths revealed in body language. She views portraiture as a way to capture both likeness and essence, uncovering what is seen and unseen.

Her creative journey began in childhood, wandering gallery corridors and sketching endlessly, before life took her away from painting. Years later, while living in Malaysia, she rediscovered the easel as a path of self-discovery and returned to her true passion. Since then, she has devoted herself to creating portraits that reflect the dialogue between reason and emotion, with each brushstroke a step toward connection and understanding.

Her work is held in private collections worldwide and continues to spark conversation, invite reflection, and celebrate the richness of the human experience.
