Welcome to Inspired Art by Karen Renae

What's special about her art?

Karen is inspired by the work of Monet, Morisot, DeKooning, and Mitchell (among others) – these artists embody all that she loves about impressionism and abstract art, inviting emotion and warmth. She taps further into perception and emotion through her unique style of blending abstract artistic elements with impressionism emphasizing light, color, texture, and fleeting moments. These elements capture a sense of movement and atmosphere without restricting the viewer to rigid details, thereby creating an emotional response. The connection between the two lies in their shared goal of conveying the subjective experience, whether through the impression of a scene or the pure expression of color and shape.

About the artist

Karen is a self-taught artist driven by her passion for visual arts and its ability to help the mind retreat to a place of calm. She has centered her work around her love of the Masters and her desire to create something new that transcends boundaries. She has spent her professional career in finance and is a true ambi-brain, this duality fuels her ability to craft works that are rich in narrative and visual complexity. She feels her art and creative energy contributes immeasurably to her work with mission-oriented organizations in developing strategic investment plans that advance the sustainability of their missions by imagining possibilities.
