Karen Kieffer
Painting / Multi-Media

Karen's current focus is in the Encaustic medium, a media she has worked with for
about five years.  Encaustic is the art of painting with molten beeswax mixed with
colored pigments and resin. The results are like no other medium—mysterious,
deep, and translucent, with a glow that seems to emanate from within. Karen's
inspirations come from her personal, internal response to the subject at hand.  For
landscape works, she is inspired plein air, but typically will carry the memory of
nature's experience back to the studio where works are developed to completion.  

Currently, Karen is happily focusing on her work in a concentrated manner, having
arrived at a place in her life that allows her passion for art to be fully and expressively
explored.  Karen is a member of SOPA Studios' Artist Collective and also exhibits
elsewhere in South Pasadena.  The artist maintains her studio in her home in
Alhambra where she resides with her husband and daughter.
