Next Meeting: November 23rd, 2026 at 6:00 PM
Speaker: Karen Waller
Karen Waller is an Adelaide based photographer and artist whose work spans portrait, landscape, nature, and aerial imagery. Raised in rural South Australia, she developed a deep connection to the natural world that continues to shape her aesthetic and subject choices. Her long-standing ties to the Yorke Peninsula remain a central source of inspiration.
Originally trained as a painter, Karen later transitioned to photography, carrying her painterly sensibilities into her visual practice. She has been recognized across multiple photographic genres and currently focuses primarily on personal projects and teaching workshops, particularly in techniques such as ICM.
Karen’s work explores the interplay of strength and vulnerability, beauty and discomfort, and the emotional tension between darkness and light. Through both portrait and landscape imagery, she seeks to reveal what is often overlooked and to challenge viewers’ perceptions through themes of fragility, loss, and human connection.
