Karen Cole Online Art Listing

I was born on November 25th in Baltimore Maryland, where I'd lived for thirty years. During my childhood I had always loved art for as long as I can remember. I was the only artist in my family! In High School, I studied with a talented artist and teacher, named Edward Saffell who encouraged my passion. I attended Towson University where I earned my BA in Art Education and taught for several years. In 1987, I visited Santa Fe and fell in love with its beautiful light, vivid landscapes and vast arts scene. It is here that I have matured as an artist and continue to live happily with my husband, John and my son, Nat.

My oil paintings are sensual and poetic. They are microcosmic views of flora, which sometimes go into the abstract. They reflect both feminine and masculine energy, which is seen in their curvaceous shapes, bold colors and hard edges. The composition entices the viewer to enter, just as a flower does in nature. By using many layers of paint and glaze I can create this world on canvas. It is a careful, timely procedure that brings a special luminosity and glow to each unique painting.
