Karen Blackwood
Karen Blackwood was born in N.H. and received her BA in the Studio Art program at the University of N.H. After spending the early part of her professional life as an Art Director for a major New York City Ad Agency, she moved to California, picked up her brushes and dedicated herself to painting professionally.
Trained in the classical tradition, Karen painted portraits and figurative work before focusing on landscapes. Karen feels light is a defining factor, and it is the atmospheric quality of the light that she captures in her paintings. Her work is a desire to paint what inspires her and to capture the very essence of the scene.
