About Karen Russell:
Driven by aesthetics and obsessed with color, Karen Russell is in a long-term relationship with portraiture. It took a series of menial jobs, a knee injury and subsequent unemployment to discover her passion for oils and brush.
Despite an ever-growing catalog and audience, Russell says she still feels like an amateur with another decade ahead of her before she can start feeling satisfied with her work. Her most recent gallery series, Solace in Color, is proof of her ability to keep moving forward, taking her unique style to the next level.
Russell is available for show bookings, interviews, and exploring the beauty in minutiae.
