About the Artist
Inspired by the beauty and intricate details of nature, artist Karen Barton 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. After dedicating thirty years to teaching, she finally pursued her creative passion, which had been put on hold due to her busy working life. Karen listens to 80s music while painting in the studio she shares with her artist husband. The space is filled with art supplies and a bright yellow futon where their beloved dog, Libby, rests. When not painting, Karen enjoys tending to her vegetable garden, exploring culinary delights, and escaping into the magical world of literature.
