Inspired by the beauty and intricate details of nature, artist Karen Barton-Gray captures
the essence of what she observes in the world around her, especially in her own
backyard. "I am particularly drawn to the delicate beauty of hummingbirds and
butterflies," says Karen. Her paintings are created through a blend of observation,
imagination, photography, and research. Using both brushwork and a palette knife, she
manipulates the paint to create contrasting colors and textures. From bold expressions
to subtle color nuances and intricate details. When she's not painting, Karen enjoys
tending to her flower garden and baking artisanal breads.
