Founder and director of Cupola Gallery, Karen Sherwood takes us behind-the-scenes of how this incredible art gallery came to be, along with the remarkable events that helped to establish it for what it is today.

An artist herself and an avid lover of nature, Karen also describes her passion for art and says: “Art is not an extra. It is not a luxury. It is a core need.” And in this post-lockdown world, there are many who are recognising the truth in this.
