Karen Pask-Thompson paints in oil, acrylic and mixed media on canvas and panel. Her artwork is a response to the land and its creatures. This response is based on reflection, observation, and imagination. Incorporating found objects and collage into her works enhance not only the surface but the narrative as they thoughtfully are selected and act as both symbol and metaphor deepening the meaning of the work.
