Karen Sherwood

Karen is the founder, owner and director of Cupola Gallery, an art gallery on Middlewood Road which she opened in 1991.

She is also a practising artist and painter.

Originally born in Stamford in the USA, Karen came to the UK when she was two years old and was brought up in Kegworth in the Midlands. Like many, she came to study in Sheffield and never left, setting up her gallery in 1991.

When not painting or running the gallery, Karen is a keen platform diver and baker. She lives in Sheffield with her husband and two grown up boys.
