KAREN CLARK
Inspiration?: “Chaos is a great inspiration. My studio looks like a hurricane hit with half-finished paintings and collages strewn everywhere. I get ideas from seeing the juxtaposition of visual ideas.”
Aesthetic?: My style is all over the place. I go from geometric to landscapes to portraits.”
Reaction?: “I find that people tend to see things in my work that even I am blind to. Everyone is a painting whisperer, so I try not to telegraph what I’m thinking.”
Styling Tip?: “I like geometric and minimalist work in modern houses. Metallic paintings are unusual and tend to get attention in a room. But with art, anything goes.”
