Black Mountain Artist Karen K Paquette

Welcome to

The Abstract Garden
a portfolio of work by
Karen K. Paquette

My ideas for art
sprout like seeds
in my mind,

grow with a passion
in my heart

planted on paper, canvas,
cloth or whatever is handy..... .

Transformed into ‘objets d'art’
to explore.

Come back and see
what inspires
me through the seasons.

New Work

Pisgah Forrest 30x30

Available at The Painted Porch

The Interconnections Series is inspired by the concept that nature connects in a wide variety of patterns and ecosystems that are biodiverse and complicated.

The different elements of the natural world, a leaf, a petal, a bird, all come together in a textured, tangled, layered beauty as seen by this artist not in realism but in the web of universal life. These paintings include original botanical prints that I have made with a gel plate. The leaves, petals, grasses, buds are gathered from my yard or wanderings.
