Meet Spring Obsession 2024 Artist Karen Lemens

 Karen (Kara) Lemens

O-032 Tuolumne Glow by Karen Lemens oil 8x6 $350
FIRST PLACE WINNER


Kara paints life and light in a realistically impressionistic style in oils. She enjoys capturing a variety of subjects - whatever the light makes beautiful or interesting. She tries to convey the impression the subject made on her, using the language of oil paint. She finds that painting from life and all prima (while the paint is wet) best enable her to express that impression.

Kara loves painting on location (en plein air) with her border collie, Frisco. She paints primarily in the Texas Hill Country and the mountains of Colorado but is always up for a plein air adventure wherever life takes her! She also enjoys creating still lifes in her studio, combining the natural beauties of flowers and fruits with objects of timeless beauty such as family antiques. She wants to capture the conversation between the objects and her feeling of connection to them.
