Karen’s paintings are about the richness and patterns of nature at every scale and form – at every natural dimension we see, but don’t necessarily notice.

She spends a lot of time wandering among the mountains of Pemberton. Always discovering new beauty in the forest, fields, rivers, and lakes that surround her. Nature’s colours and geometric shapes are incredibly interesting to observe throughout all the different seasons.
Karen studied fine art at Art Sake Inc. Institute of Visual Arts in Toronto, Ontario, a school known for painting, run by 10 Canadian Artists. Following that she continued studies at Sheridan College’s School of Craft and Design, Emily Carr Design Institute, and Capilano College.
She also founded the Pemberton Arts Council in 2006 to celebrate art in a rural community and give a voice to the mountain culture.
