Artist Statement
So it all started as a kid while hanging out in Millcreek Ravine. That's where my love of nature began. The smell of creosote-soaked trestles, the thick woods and blue sky poking through still bring the memories back. Then driving to the Rockies on family vacations. Canola fields, mountains, endless blue or stormy grey skies. Trying to capture that beauty on paper was the start of the art. I'm smitten with the Canadian landscape and try to capture those experiences and images with a bit of acrylic paint, an attitude of play and a whole lot of inspiration.
Biography
Karen McCallum grew up and works in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Inspired by everyday subjects and her love of the Alberta landscape, she paints in acrylics and mixed media. Her aim is not to replicate exactly what she sees but to express the feeling conjured in a fleeting moment. Her goal has always been to paint whatever she finds beautiful as loosely as she can with as much courage as she can muster.
