Within luminous watercolor washes and strokes of the brush, the viewer can find the fascination and reverence Karyn has for wildlife and nature. Her artistic style brings to light the complexities of the natural world –the tangle of the web of life. Expressive poses, dramatic mood and a textural sense of feather and fur capture the heart and soul of her subjects. She enjoys shining the light on the beauty and significance of even the most common, overlooked creatures. Her paintings express a quiet stillness and the peace of an unobtrusive observer. She eagerly shares her knowledge of wildlife and nature and encourages an awareness to protect and preserve the natural world.
