About Karen
Art.
Passion. Life.
“I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.”
- Vincent van Gogh
With a fusion of dynamic color, creative design and energy, Karen's paintings reflect passion for art that is inspired by life.
​
In her teens, she experimented with painting, multi-media work and ceramics while pursuing a deep interest in Ballet. Later, she became a Master Pilates Instructor and earned a Master's Degree in Kinesiology. A thorough knowledge of the human body and dance movement influences her artistic style and abstract expressionism. Each of her paintings comes from her heart and evokes the incredible emotions of curiosity and happiness.
​
A bold use of color is present in all of her paintings, capturing the beauty of shapes, nature, cityscapes and people. With an intuitive and thoughtful artistry, her work can be found on display at medical offices, such as the Virginia Eye Institute; local businesses, such as TASTE and Cameo Cakery; and various art venues.
​
Karen and her husband, William, live in Richmond, Virginia, where they raised three children. They love the outdoors and can be found exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley, cycling, hiking and going to the beach.
