Based at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne, Karelyn Joy is an emerging professional artist with a lifelong background in Visual Arts education. After a dedicated career teaching all ages and abilities, she has now embraced her own creative practice full-time, bringing a wealth of experience, passion, and curiosity to her work.
Specialising in bespoke monotype prints created on Gelatin plates, her art explores the unpredictable and organic nature of printmaking. Each piece is a unique expression, revealing itself only at the precise moment the print is pulled - a process that echoes the spontaneity and beauty of the natural world.
Deeply inspired by the wonder of creation and the intricate details found in nature, Karelyn incorporates botanical material, foliage and inherited pressed flowers in the printmaking process and as delicate embellishments, creating a poignant connection between generations.
Karelyn shares her passion for Printmaking, implementing local community workshops where she encourages others to explore the joys of this accessible and expressive medium. |
