Karen Anne Richards

Patience not being one of my virtues I prefer the immediacy of acrylic and watercolor. My current focus is on creating collections that emphasize fragile environments, endangered species and the simple beauty of nature. I donate a portion of my sales to organizations such as The Audubon Society & World Wildlife Fund. Whether I'm in a field or working in my studio, my subjects vary from close up views of birds, butterflies and flowers to vast impressionistic landscapes.

“The process of painting relates to the process of life. Some strokes are carefully and placed while others create an unexpected surprise. It's the combination of what I may have intended and the unforeseen final result that motivates me to start each painting."
