Karen has been painting and exhibiting her work for over 30 years. For the last decade, she has been working in oils and watercolors, specifically focusing on the natural beauty found in upstate New York. Most recently, she's been exploring the infinite variations of green that make up our unique landscape. Her work coalesces around color, light, the changing seasons of the Northeast, a certain time of day or night, rich textures and surprising shapes.
Burns has also worked as a graphic artist and illustrator, designing logos, posters, magazines and books. Her paintings and sculptures can be found in collections throughout the Northeast. She currently lives in Syracuse, NY. Recent shows include the gallery at Baltimore Woods in Marcellus, NY and the Made in NY exhibition at Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center in Auburn, NY
