Artist Statement  

“My mission is simple, to paint natures everyday landscape in an expressive and colourful way. In that simplicity is the adventure of exploring new places, meeting people and cultures, to experience endangered environments and to record this living history for future generations. 
Karol Oakley 2019

   TRAVEL
Join me in Greece in 2022
​I'm going back for my 6th tour of these fabulous Islands with a small group of artists and friends.  The tour is in May, early summer and we travel from Kalymnos, north to Samos, fully tutored and guided.  We are doing a sketch book tour with pen and wash, pastel and more. No experience needed, just a love of travel, good company, great food and new experiences.

​ All the details are available for you by emailing oakleyfineart@gmail.com

An Ethical Art Practice.

"Here at Oakley Fine Art we pride ourselves on being an ethical arts practice. Our values reflect  how we work with artists and collectors to gain the results they are after.  We believe in a sustainable future for all and are working toward a "green" studio. Recycling is part of our strategy to minimise waste. We run on solar power during the day, returning the excess to the grid.  There is more happening, on a smaller scale each day to make our enviromental  impact as small as possible while giving the best value and satisfaction. "  Karol Oakley
