“My work consists mainly of original screenprints.
Existing between the dream world and awake, my process begins with the surprising forms that cross my semi-conscious mind. Dream impressions of people, settings, and objects combine, calcify and condense into new elemental shapes.
After hand sketching, I refine my visions using both digital and traditional tools to produce each silkscreen. The screenprinting process inherently mimics how my dream visions render themselves in my mind’s eye, layer by layer. My prints are short-run limited editions, providing for the precision and crisp qualities my shapes are asking for, while allowing for imperfection and variation.”
Kara is a visual artist working in printmaking, painting, and 3D printed sculpture. Her work explores the abstraction of portraiture, landscape, and object, expressed through deconstructed geometric shapes. She is fascinated by how nature’s innate rhythms influence us. By re-interpreting her subjects through shape, form, and color, Kara aims to create space for another version of a soul or terrain.
Kara holds a BS in Studio Art and Art Education from Skidmore College. She resides in Westchester County, NY. Kara regularly shows her work at various regional exhibitions, including KinoSaito, and in art fairs, including The Other Art Fair.
