Karen Tusinski

Artist Statement I subscribe to the natural contrast found in our world. Geometric and organic form play together in each piece, combining in an energized abstraction. Common themes include bright poppies in a variety of color schemes, pebble strewn beaches with tranquil seas, and reoccurring circular patterns in both abstracts and expressive still lifes. My work offers pleasing tonal relationships through common motifs and patterns inspired by nature. I observe the seemingly ordinary to allow the viewer a new lens to hold against everyday images.
