Karen Walter is the only abstract artist currently showing
at studio21south. We are lucky to be
showing an impressive installation of 150 of Karen’s small works on paper in "Black and White (More or Less)"
Karen lives in Boston where she works in paper conservation at Harvard, but she comes to the Berkshires to draw at North Adams' Natural Bridge State Park, whose rock formations and rushing water influence her multi-layered abstractions.
Karen constantly experiments with new media and
compositions. Her playful approach defines her style and makes each one of her pieces
truly singular. Layers of
mediums (which may include watercolor, egg tempera, graphite, and charcoal), as well as her
subtle use of color, lend depth and mystery to her art.
