"Art is the path to the best part of me"
Karen loves to paint landscapes with a focus on movement, form and light in which to engage the viewer and draw them into the story of the work. Her paintings reflect Karen’s interest in a variety of subjects ranging from rural and prairie locations to majestic mountains and all that’s in between.
Karen is predominantly self-taught and has become a student of art. She continues to expand her skills by attending classes and workshop with several renowned artists (Doug Swinton, Lorri Putnan, Ursula Reynolds to name a few).
Karen enjoys working in oils for the immediacy of an ‘alla prima’ approach; but also likes acrylics and watercolor which allows exploration of texture and other techniques.
