Artist's Biography
Karen
is
a
self
taught
painter
,
who
spent
her
college
years
at the
University
of
Nebraska
,
Lincoln
,
sampling
just
about
every
department
available
, with
textile
and
fashion
design
eventually
seizing
most
of her
attention
.
Although
based
in the
home
economics
department
, that
course
of
study
required
a
fair
amount
of
drawing
classes
from the
art
department
, and the
introduction
to
life
drawing
was
made
.
Many
years
and
many
experiences
later
, the
focus
of
Karen's
work
is
again
with the
figure
,
intrigued
by the
stories
that
can
be
told
with
paintings
of
people
, their
postures
, and their
relationships
to
each
other
. '
I
have been
known
to
say
that a
painting
that's
clever
or
pretty
is
not
enough
-
it
has to
tell
a
story
that
holds
my
interest.
'
Karen's
current
work
is
acrylic
paint
on
canvas
, with the
occasional
mural
added
in
just
for
fun
.
Artist's Statement
About
her
work
,
Karen
writes,''There
are but
three
fundamental
colors
-
red
,
yellow
, and
blue.
'
Vincent
van
GoghAnd
if
Vincent
said
it
then
it
must
be
true!
?
So
I
go
with
it
, but
I
go
with
it
because
I
like
it
that
way
.
Three
primaries
, with
maybe
a
daub
of
violet
, and a
bit
of
green
, that
which
some
people
would
call
a
limited
palette
. For
me
,
it's
all
that's
needed
to
make
a
painting
that
feels
fresh
and
alive
. And
that's
where
I
need
to be at this
space
in
my
life
.
I
paint
with
acrylic
paint
on
gallery
wrapped
canvas
.
Occasionally
I
do
'
color
sketches
' on
paper
which
sometimes
end
up
at
exhibit
as
matted
paintings
.
I
do
not
make
reproductions
of any of
my
paintings
,
so
each
one
that
you
look
at
is
a
unique
rendering
of
my
point
of
view.Enjoy
, and
thanks
for
looking.
