Karen Kaback

I am Karen. Trained originally as a textile designer for fabric and companion wallpaper, I have moved on to mostly acrylic paintings. My specialty is flowers and trees, however, I am presently doing large abstracts with markers on paper. They are
very colorful, time consuming and intricate. I have had two paintings published recently in an online magazine. I continue to express myself through art and will until I can't paint anymore. Thanks for stopping by.

"Fire and Ice" “"Fire and Ice"”

Fire-hot, Ice-cold. I actually think this is one of my most intense abstracts, simply because during the process of drawing this one, I was able to feel hot and cold. I love the way it turned out.

"Fire and Ice, too" “"Fire and Ice, too"”

Similar to "Fire and Ice", only less intense.
