Karen Sexton: The Artist in her Studio
CURRENT WORK
Nothing special just a group of human marks meditating on this one precious life.
I returned to Bolinas a year ago “to walk the beach” I hoped to heal myself after the death of my life partner, to meditate and reflect on what might be next in this one precious life. This practice and meditation has deeply connected me to the timelessness of tides and the sensations of light air and sound. I have been bringing this back into my studio to explore these resonances with canvas, paper and paint. I offer these paintings as a witness to the beauty and power of this place.
I work with images that reflect the feminine spirit through dreams and inner journeys and. I am strongly influenced by the landscapes I have inhabited. I always seem to go back to the landscape as a source and reference. Working all my senses through the filter of brush and present moment.
My work consists of oil paintings, drawings, monotypes, shrines, altars and nichos. From time to time I give small workshops in creative process and monotype.
