The surfaces of Karen Scharer’s abstract landscapes are suffused in light; sky and land are one. There are no clear narratives or anecdotes - though there is a subtext - the artist’s passion for Mother Nature. Her canvases simply and beautifully convey a personal, vital force with what looks like and feels like unedited authenticity.
Further, Scharer’s work is not simply about the right color, the right brushstroke on the right surface. It is all about synthesizing her vast life experience including, but not limited to, what’s outside her front door.
Bottom line: Scharer’s paintings are all about alchemizing her rich life experiences into gorgeous, non-objective landscapes. A few strokes of her well-educated paint brush tend to contain the immensity of Mother Nature, the artist’s muse.
