The patterns underlying life and reality have always fascinated me as a mathematician and artist. Why are they there? What are they for? What do they mean? Why and how can we use them?
Essentially my passion is symbolism, but from a multifaceted perspective. I take into account the science behind numbers, shapes, light and colours, for example, and their roles and purposes in forming reality as well as their use as symbols and tools in the Arts, spirituality and development of human consciousness. In this way I describe how you can understand science through art and symbolism, such as how the circle describes the attributes of time, and also appreciate the magic of alchemy in art. |
ABOUT KAREN L FRENCH |
Naturally I use symbolism extensively in my art and I also thoroughly enjoy doing talks/lectures for a wide audience. My books and articles are based on wide ranging research into subjects covering the Sciences, Arts, philosphy and belief systems. They are always highly illustrated with insightful quotes and examples across disciplines and cultures. I hope they inspire readers to look at reality with fresh eyes and to delve further for themselves.
Numerate and creative, I have a Joint Honours Degree in Mathematics and Management Sciences and an MSc in Marketing, both from the University of Manchester, England. Born in Africa, I currently live in England with my Canadian husband. |
