An exploration of images from the artist’s dreams.

Karen Sims resides in the historic town of Fernie, B.C., surrounded by a natural landscape. A wife, mother of three, and a Registered nurse; Karen’s work is influenced by the very emotions that present to her each and every day. Mainly self-taught, Karen’s paintings are often describes as being attractively imperfect. Her intention is to capture the essence of both human connection and what she sees in nature’s silent and casual beauty.

Often woken from a dream, Karen’s day begins with a vision as her next piece unfolds. Layers of color and paint are added by brush, palette knife or dripped and rubbed on the canvas to create textured landscape or still life. The compositions of her work are first attentively composed and then unwittingly arranged, therby freeing the creatvity. Karen’s exhibit, Tomorrow’s Dream, will showcase a variety of her acrylic pieces that have woken her from a deep sleep.

Please join Karen for light refreshments at her opening reception on Thursday, May 29th at 7pm at The Arts Station to see these wonderful new works in person. Exhibition continues until June 23rd.
