Karen Baughman

Biography/Artist Statement

My work is a reflection of the interplay between mystery and tranquility, realized through the tactile richness of acrylic paint, gold, silver and rose leaf and ink. Each piece is finished with a faux encaustic layer, adding depth and texture to my compositions.

At this stage in my artistic journey, my focus is on creating works that evoke a dreamlike state and impart a sense of meditative calm. I am driven by the desire to craft pieces that not only resonate emotionally but also invite viewers to weave their own narrative and interpretations.

For me, art is as vital as the air I breathe - an essential form of expression and a pathway to both personal and shared experiences.
