Artist Bio: Kara is currently a resident of Newport Coast, CA. Prior to moving to California, she has lived in various cities around the world, including Seoul (Korea), Chicago, Winona (MN), New York City, Bonn (Germany), and Vancouver (Canada). She holds a B.A. degree in fine art and business management. While she had worked as a financial analyst in the international banking industry for 15 years, her passion for art never died. She resumed her art career in the 2000's and her current concentration is acrylic painting. Her affiliation includes Orange County Fine Arts (OCFA), International Society of Acrylic Painters and Federation of Canadian Artists (2001-2004).
Artist Statement: My work primarily consists of acrylic paintings on canvas, but I also create with colored pencils on paper. I gain inspiration from both ordinary objects around us and fascinating scenes of far-away places. Variety is important in my choices of subject matters. I see the beauty of nature in landscapes, the harmony of different objects placed one next to each other in still life, and the wonders of shapes and emotions in figures. I am absorbing these visual miracles surrounding me and trying to express them in my own creative way. Through the use of expressive, vibrant colors, I compose my observations and experiences into simplified, yet stylized shapes and forms. My art can be best described as contemporary, half abstraction/ half-realism. In a world that is becoming more and more connected, I am interested in how the relevant moments in my life form connections with others. I hope my art creates excitement and pleasure for them, enriching their lives a little bit.
