Hello,
My name is Karen Cougan and I live on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland Australia. I was born in Brisbane a long time ago and moved to the coast a couple of years ago. I am married with 3 grown girls and now 3 grandbabies and they are all gorgeous of course.
As a child I was fascinated by cameras and the images they made. I always wanted to be the one who took the family images from the box brownie that we had. I can still hear my Mum, "Make sure everyone is in the middle". When I was about 10 years old I went on a school camp and hounded mum to let me take the camera. I still have some of those shots today. From then on I just wanted to take pictures. When I was 14 I got my first camera an Agfa for my birthday. I was in love.
People used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up and besides being a mummy I didn't know. I used to say it isn't invented yet. Eventually along came computers and they scared me half to death. My work was in real estate at that time and my boss bought a digital camera. Well that was the end of me. Nothing else mattered after that. Before long I had to have my own and haven't looked back since.
In amongst my life I have had a passion for anything creative and have tried my hand to most outlets. Mediums such as Painting, Ceramics, Sculpture, Mosiacs, Printing, Dyeing, Collage and Floristry. I have also been a mad keen gardener and home decorator. So I guess its in my blood with my Grandfather being a painter and my Mum and Sister and Aunties being dress designers. You may also notice I LOVE QUOTES........... :)
Thanks for taking the time to visit. If I can take a piccie for you for any occassion please contact me.
