Karen Bailey, Artist
I paint to communicate feelings and emotions. I paint from the heart. Captivating colors, bold composition, and seductive mark making bring expressive brush strokes to life, engaging the viewer with movement and powerful energy. I love using multifaceted layering techniques that create intrigue as underlying elements are curiously revealed, giving each painting a sense of dimension. The underlying concepts of my work reflect the universal stories that shape our lives, and I invite viewers to explore them, asking themselves, " How does the world feel?"
