Scape Grace - Karen Greenstreet

Irresistibly and unaccountably drawn to painting after a career in law, academia, and business, Karen Greenstreet uses acrylics with ceramic and glass media on canvas to capture abstract scapes:  landscapes, townscapes, and mindscapes.  Intense coloration, touchable textures, curves and circular motifs characterize much of her work.  Some of her recent brushwork is inspired by centuries-old Florentine paper designs. Elevated by the magical atmosphere of the Grove Gallery, Karen’s works range from small canvas board studies through several larger diptychs and triptychs of abstract rural, mountain, and urban imagination.  The centerpiece of her Scapegrace exhibition is a multi-season 15-panel landscape that continues to grow out of her insatiable curiosity to discover what lies on the other side.
