An art student at Falmouth College of Art, Karen Wade went on to work at Exeter Museum, and as a graphic artist.  She lives in Cornwall with her husband and two children. Her paintings are inspired by the landscape of Cornwall.  While abstract, they possess a sculptural quality and have been praised for their 'poetic sensibility'.  She has been represented by several commercial galleries in Cornwall, exhibiting also in London, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
