Karen Stanley was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, but has since lived in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kansas and since 2004, in Indiana. While she loves the Midwest, she loves to travel and has also been inspired by the beauty and scenery found in many other regions of the U.S and the world.
Karen’s love of art was initially inspired by her father’s sketching and wood carving. While working in her careers in higher education and in marketing/marketing research, she began to study art through various classes and workshops. Her initial exposure to painting was in the medium of watercolor but she has shifted to oil as her primary medium in the past decade.
Karen is now an avid oil painter and is active with the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association, Sullivan Munce, and Southside Art League. Through these she has found a wonderful group of friends and fellow painters who are fun to paint with and who are generous with their experience and insights.
She is an impressionist painter focusing on various aspects of nature through landscapes, still-life, and animals/pets. “My goal is to capture the spirit, color and light of a given scene or subject matter that drew me to it in the first place. My art is a way of seeing, recognizing, and capturing the beauty of nature and magical moments to be found in both the ordinary and the extraordinary.”
