Karen is an abstract expressionist working primarily in acrylics on canvas and her art is inspired by the kaleidoscope of colours and textures that surround her. Her paintings are infused with expressive markings that fill the canvas with energy and light.  Her latest series merges her love of textiles, patterns, design and nature using a mid-century palette that includes deep tones of turquoise, olive green, gold, burnt orange and pink. Karen is a juried member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and her art has been exhibited and collected both locally and internationally.
