Karen Hoisington (Singaporean, b. unknown) is an artist and branding consultant known for her expressive landscape and cityscape paintings. Born in Singapore and raised in the UK, she holds a BA in Graphic Design from Kingston University and studied Art History at Epsom School of Art. Her early solo exhibitions began in 1978, with notable shows in Singapore throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

In parallel, she founded Datum Branding in 1986, developing brand identities for major institutions. In recent years, she returned to full-time painting, exploring themes of memory, light, and urban density through abstract expressionism. She currently runs Hoisington Galleries, where she showcases her works like Urban Drift.
