Synopsis:
We talked about how she got started on her art journey...from scientist to abstract artist. We shared thoughts about the importance of community in getting started - building and growing your network as you find your tribe! Karen talked about how she works in multiple collections and how to move collectors from 1 series to another.
About the Artist:
In addition to being a member of the prestigious Ontario Society of Artists, I am the founder of local abstract art groups Colourshift Collective and SolidColour with which I exhibit regularly throughout the year. Also, I was a Board Member of the Artists' Network of Riverdale in 2009, and part of my duties was co-organiser of the Riverdale Art Walk in the same year.
Statement:
Birch trees proudly sport their scars. Every mark on their white skin is a reminder of lost branches and harm inflicted. The more scars the more majestic and beautiful they appear to us. Wear them with pride. They are evidence of a life lived.
