​Fog Works
by Featured Artist Karen Bowers
for May 2022 
 can be viewed 11-4 daily from May 4 through June 6.   
​Karen’s water media paintings are rendered interpretive and suggestive by her painting process.  She begins her work on paper with water. “Water is my foundation.”
“Navarro Beach," at the right, her show’s central piece, represents the beginning of Karen’s use of fog as a key ingredient: “Clarity was gone. I let it go. On a foggy day, my work became open to possibilities unseen. In my studio, I soak paper and use gouache to recreate this atmosphere: Soft sky water landing on my paper, no chance of paint drying. Pigment floating over wet paper. Water and color. No direction known. These days, clarity seems harsh.  Fog Work is what I have turned to.”
