1) What influences your work and do you prefer a certain medium?
Karen has a combination of different influences that play a large role in her art work she previously attended a school for fashion design, while there she developed a Passion for fashion and started designing high heels. I also found out that she prefers Installation art she describes this as fleeting a work of art in the moment she uses paint, kink graphite, tissue paper and collage these particular mediums are meant to make the connection to human mortality and its very fragile environment its type of art that's not meant to last forever but only to be enjoyed for a small amount of time.
b) What particular artist inspires you and why?
Karen is motivated by Lisa Seagull's work because she constanly combines color and collage together, when creating her own art she intentionally tries to incorporate Lisa's techniques and craft but with her own artistic vision in mind.
2) How would you describe your artwork and what makes it stand out?
Karen inspires to be a strong artist and is constantly improving her drawing skills she tends to focus on: proportion, line, color, texture, patterns, collage and the formal aspect when creating any work of art, which is left open for interpretation she feels that any individual "Student or Critic" should have the opportunity to express their personal artistic views when looking at any work of art by doing that it makes the emotional connection to the art stronger.
3) What do you see yourself doing in the near future?
Karen said she loves teaching her students about art and feels very comfortable in the education environment because you never stop learning which gives you the advantage to strenthen your craft.....Karen also belives that as long as your a dedicated individual to your profession its always possible to go after your outside ambitions examples:
. Having your artwork displayed in a art gallery
. Attending a new drawing/painting seminar etc...
