About the Item
Artist Comments
Glimpses of land emerge from this verdant abstract painting. Artist Karen Hansen began with a green field, working intuitively by adding more colors and rotating the piece until its orientation became clear. Layers of transparent, translucent, and opaque pigments create depth and radiance.
About the Artist
Artist Karen Hansen’s abstract paintings are an exploration of color. "They are meant as resting places, uncluttered oases from our hectic, complex world," shares Karen. She always knew she wanted to be an artist, and her parents nurtured that dream with plenty of crayons, paints, and paper. Over the years, she channeled her creativity into various roles, from window dressing to toy design and animation. Now, she paints in a cozy bedroom studio filled with art materials, books, and her beloved, paint-splattered easel—loving the short commute just down the hall. Outside of painting, Karen enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, playing with ingredients for fun, and tending to her garden, a haven for native plants and local wildlife.

The challenge I posed for myself with this painting was to abstract the image as much as I could and still have it read as a traditional landscape.
