Karen Barton Gray

"I am inspired by the beauty and details of nature as well as bold and subtle color nuances that I see in the world around us. I love the delicate beauty of hummingbirds and butterflies and therefore I paint them frequently. However, I do not limit myself to these as I find beauty in many different subjects.

I am an oil painter who also works with acrylic paint. I love designing beautiful trendy and elegant pieces that bring the perfect focal point to a room. I like the artwork to be timeless, to draw your eye into the painting and spark your curiosity.

My paintings have an impressionistic touch and are created with a combination of brushwork and a palette knife. These tools allow me to manipulate the paint to create contrasting colors and textures in my subjects. 

At a distance my paintings speak for themselves. Up close they grab one’s curiosity with interacting colors, textures, and abstract details. I love to create beautiful canvases that draw your attention and grab a hold of something meaningful to you."
