Karen is an abstract artist who combines the expressive brushwork of Impressionism with the non-representational forms of Abstract Art. Guided organically by emotion and feeling rather than preconceived form, her creative process is to follow where led in each work of art. She often feels that the canvas and brushes are guiding her hand in color choice and direction of flow and stroke. She begins with little direction, only to step back during the process, visually becoming aware of the path materializing before her.

Working primarily in acrylics, her technique is a fluid dance between control and surrender. She builds her compositions through an accumulation of multiple layers in delicate washes and bold gestural marks, allowing the paint to dictate its own natural course.
