She graduated in the early 90’s with a BA Honors in graphic design and illustration from the Norwich School of Art, and started selling direct from her website after the birth of her son in 2000. Her work ranges from clean, minimal design to richly textured collage and paintings, more of which can be seen on her portfolio site - http://www.karenjinks.co.uk/
