Blush and Bloom, 24" x 24"

Acrylic, Cold Wax and Oil on Canvas.

"In my latest series, 'Tapestry of Abstract Landscape', I explore the abstract landscape forms built from layered strokes of vivid colours. Each piece unfolds like rhythmic patterns that echo embroidery and woven texture. Set against shifting backgrounds that form a steady luminosity. Together, they reflect a meditation on renewal, tenderness, and the small, quiet growth that weaves through each piece. Sweeping gestures in the sky suggest movement like clouds, while spirals rise like trees adding a playful motif. Each work invites the viewer to wander through a landscape both familiar and reimagined."

Karen Jeffrey is an abstract artist working in acrylic, and cold wax, and oil. She’s an OCAD graduate and an accomplished Pastry Chef. Actually, her two favorite tools for painting are her pastry palette knife and her plastic bowl scraper.  Karen’s body of work is largely reflective of her many travels and she draws her inspirations from her surroundings and the dialogue in her head. Each painting is a collection of fragments from my memories of travels, they come together to form a larger story, giving the piece a lively visual environment, where the forms, lines, and marks coexist.
