Opening Reception March 11, 6 - 8pm; Exhibition runs March 1 - April 16, 2016
Karen Barbour is a prolific painter and a devoted keeper of sketchbooks filled with the thoughts, observations and drawings she utilizes for reference. Her process leads her to work on many pieces simultaneously, visiting them and revisiting them as they call to her. She is inspired by ongoing dreams and memories, both old and new, and the recollections play out on the paper and canvases like a narrative of her subconscious. The imagery is a surrealist mix of figures and abstractions, fluidly rendered with skillful combinations of gouache, ink, oil and collage.
Karen lives in Inverness California and received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute.
