Working in my home studio, I'm inspired by the colorful hues of relationships between friends and lovers, along the labyrinthine paths of their lives.
EARLY CAREER
Literally from early childhood, Karen had pencils, crayons and paint, with paper, glue and scissors handy—(when she wasn’t out exploring in her family’s creek—or climbing trees…).Drew her family, horses, and her natural surroundings incessantly.
As a student and young adult, Karen studied Egypt and envisioned those Ancient eras. Later, during High School years, she hit her stride in Arlington, Virginia emerging herself in the Arts atmosphere of Washington, D.C., visiting the National Museums of History and Art weekly, falling in love with painting and sculpture! Finally, her major in Penn State University’s School of Art and Education, continued her longing to experiment on canvas, as well as in the classrooms from Pre-School through High School, in Los Angeles, Seoul and Taegu, Korea, then, in Seattle and, finally, ending in Los Angeles, where she now resides. Her concentration, at this time, is Abstract Expressionism with Acrylics and Mixed Media.
WORK PROCESS
Donning her blue non-latex gloves, Karen spreads out floor (or porch) coverings throws out canvases or paper of all sorts, and a multitude of hues in acrylic paints!
She employs her hands, her brushes—and even sticks from her yard to apply her brilliant splashes! Then, as the layers solidify, the images of her figures emerge into clearer pictures of a scene in their lives.
Often playful or thought provoking, her style is unique and very human.
NFTs
Lifelong artist passionate about NFTs. In this new digital age, Karen is exploring the wonderful world of NFTs and with the little help of her friends, she is on her way to showcasing her Art on OpenSea more and more every day: opensea.io/sssugar
