Her paintings and prints are of specific moments of her favorite places and she uses the landscape as a metaphor to express emotional moments in life. Since moving to the Berkshires in 2013 her work has taken on new depths, not just using sky, horizon lines and bodies of water, but also tree tops, mountains, and sunsets over rolling hills. Karen takes an “ordinary” Berkshire setting and makes it her own. Each new work displays more than just the natural flora and atmosphere of the location. Her artwork shows life moments exploring mood and meaning beyond the setting alone.
