Karen Lynch is a collage artist from Adelaide, Australia, who creates both digital and hand-cut paper collages with a touch of humor. She uses vintage magazines, books, and catalogs, found at thrift shops, second-hand bookstores, markets, and garage sales, and splices them together with modern photography. The result is a series of colorful, surreal, retro-futuristic landscapes that blend the past and the future in unexpected ways.
Karen’s collages have been used for various purposes, such as album cover art, book covers, magazine illustrations, advertising campaigns, and visual content for music and arts festivals. She has also exhibited her work in the USA, France, Italy, Norway, Canada, and Australia, and collaborated with other collage artists worldwide, such as Jesse Treece, Sarah Eisenlohr, Mr. Babies, Andrew McGranahan, and Adelaide collage artist Kate Cuthbert.
