Karen's recent release of The Cottage Garden Collection, presents a stylistic cross section of modern Art in American and the Impressionist era. Coastal cottage escapes at such locations as: St Thomas, Virga Gorda, Laguna Beach, CA, Catalina Island, Door County, WI, and Martha’s Vineyard, are the sources for much of the artwork comprised the in the Collection.
The artist commented on her selection of this body of work: “People connect to cottages they love -family vacations or get-a-way places, tucked amongst flowers, and woods and water, where they are centers of memorable activities. My works find viewers reflecting on paths that meander, romantic cottages that are nestled by tall pines, shoreline lakes, creating a sense of place where life is slow and easy. The picturesque harmony offers an intimacy with the viewer - where inspired heirloom county gardens, island gardens, and pathways, work in concert with the lively tapestry of the cottages.
