Expressive art for wild and tender hearts.

Semi-abstract landscape art that brings you home — to nature, to the present moment, to yourself.

Welcome. I’m Kari, a contemporary British artist and writer inspired by wild, expansive places — from Cornwall to the Arctic, and beyond.

My work is rooted in presence, light, and a deep love for the natural world. Each piece holds something of the spirit of a place – the shifting weather and the elemental energy of the land and sea. They speak, too, of emotion - our own inner landscape.

Whether you’re drawn to something soft and peaceful, or something more layered and atmospheric, this is art that asks you to pause. To drop into yourself. To reconnect with your wild and tender heart.

Bringing Nature Home

I love the feeling of being immersed in expansive, elemental landscapes. They remind me of what it means to feel deeply and live freely. They remind me to slow down, to soften and be more awake to the present moment.

For me, creating art brings that feeling into form. It is my way of expressing a sense of something 'other' that is hard to describe in words. It is beyond creating something lovely to look at, for me this is soul connection; heart vibration; joy expansion. Art that resonates, inspires, and elevates.

Hello, I'm Kari -

I’m a contemporary British artist creating energy-infused artworks inspired by wild nature, the elements, adventure, freedom, and soulful expression – all things that move me deeply.

I’ve lived many creative lives. I did an art degree, then worked as a travel photojournalist, with my work published globally – I inherited my wanderlust and creativity from my late dad, Sir Wally Herbert, a polar explorer and artist; I’ve written 6 books (illustrated 2), and founded an indie publishing company celebrating exploration, adventure and visual culture.

I am also a mindfulness guide and mindfulness coach, helping others to unlock their creative voice. More about this here.

Each chapter of my life has been driven by curiosity and a deep love of beauty, creativity, and the natural world.

Yet, deep down, my own art practice was always quietly calling...

Collectors' Feedback...

  • "I bought a series of 3 oil paintings in June. Kari has really captured the feel and warmth with her use of light and colours.  I love looking at them as they allow me to feel free and hopeful - I get lost in the scenes and I can almost feel the sea breeze! Kari's customer care is amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough." - Lisa Mullarkey - 5 Stars

  • "I love Kari's work, it is airy, expansive, ethereal. I am so delighted with the painting we bought. It has made such a difference to our home and is often a talking point when friends come to visit. I want to buy all her art!" - JF - 5 Stars

  • "I saw one of Kari's paintings a few months ago and simply had to buy it. There is such tenderness and delicacy in her paintings, but there's also an underlying sense of the ever-changing nature of things. She captures moments in time so beautifully. I find her work utterly intriguing." PL - 5 Stars

  • “I just bought one of Kari’s new original paintings. It’s just so beautiful. The dark
    and stormy Cornish beach, with a glimpse of warm light, shows Kari’s skill and understanding in creating a dramatic sense of light and shade along with depth and a wonderful shape of movement...

    My family and I love this piece. Thank you Kari for the joy you’ve brought to our home and for reminding me of the love and yearning I have for Cornwall.” James Williamson - 5 Stars
