Karen Poulson

I find it a daunting task to come up with words for my paintings, as I have tried over the years to develop my own visual language. Art, for me, is an attempt to express the inexpressible, to reveal the unseen. In my work, I am attempting to deal with the eternal vs. the ephemeral quality of life and to fuse both paint and idea to the surface.

Karen Poulson received her art training at Ohio Wesleyan University and the Cleveland Institute of Art.

She has exhibited in nationally juried shows and invitationals since the 1970's such as Watercolor USA at the Springfield Art Museum in Missouri, the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibit in Golden, The Dairy Art Center in Boulder, and "Moore Inspired," at Denver's Botanic Gardens. She was recently honored as a "Distinguished Alumni Artist" with a 1-woman exhibit at Ohio Wesleyan University.
