About Karen
North Carolina artist Karen Walker paints landscapes from around the world. Her style ranges from soft, misty realism to vivid, colorful impressionism.
Through landscape painting, Karen evokes the mood and spirit of a place. Light is key – whether diffused by heavy Maine fog or radiant on the hillsides of Tuscany.
Karen gratefully welcomes commissions - landscape paintings make distinctive, thoughtful gifts to commemorate special occasions or rekindle the memories of past travels.
