About Karen

I am an artist drawn to color, texture, movement, and the changing moods of nature. My paintings often begin with a feeling rather than a fixed plan, allowing layers, marks and color to develop organically. I am especially interested in creating work that feels both energetic and peaceful — paintings that invite the viewer to pause, rest, and experience a sense of connection and peace.

For a long time I painted trying to get it perfect. Lately, I’ve been painting to feel the joy of being in that space. When I let go of the outcome, the paintings get looser, brighter and more true, expressing feeling rather that repeating a scene.
