Karin is an artist in Santa Barbara, California. Found most often in her studio, experimenting with line and color, music playing. She generally has both Abstract & Figurative paintings going at once, creating the Abstracts in layers, leaving windows into the versions that preceded the final, and the Figurative inspired by an attempt to capture a moment that's caught her imagination -- the play of light on a mountain peak, a crazy color combination in the garden, the sky as storms gather or blow out.
