Karen A Smith

Artist Statement

Bucks County native, Karen A Smith creates art in a variety of media. Using her daily life to influence her art, Karen is interested in the space between objects, situations, conversations etc. and what happens in those spaces. Karen's abstract images are intuitively inspired by nature and the mark making is spontaneous. Building up layers and then breaking through them to reveal/uncover certain clues and hints to life's puzzles. Smith's drawings are more careful and contain gradations to add softness and to help join opposites. Smith believes that the process of creating art and the interaction/relationship with people involved in the project are as important as the completed piece of art itself.
