Karen Babayan

Using personal experience and family history as a principal resource,
Karen explores images of the past and present through facets of identity, authenticity and location. Her research is done through handed down family stories, family photographs and the personal accounts of displacement.

Karen has over 20 years’ experience in working with children and young
adults in both an education and gallery context, with partners such as
Leeds City Art Gallery, Education Leeds, Pyramid of Arts and Artemis as
well as smaller groups and individual schools.

Although she has particular skills in teaching drawing, print and colour,
Karen prefers a multidisciplinary approach, using text, collage, drawing,
sculpture, sound, colour, performance, photography and painting in the
same project.
