Karen Koch

Karen Koch relies on her love of nature and memories of days gone by for inspiration for her art. Believing that being grounded in our past helps us grow toward our future, her recent work explores the universal questions of where have we been and where are we going.

The results are colorful paintings and collages that invite the viewer to form their own interpretations of the work.

Karen has been making art for as long as she can remember. She has always had pencil and paper in her hands. That childhood pastime has become a lifelong passion.

She majored in Studio Art and English Literature at Denison University. After graduating, she worked at art galleries and continued painting for several years. When she eventually took a job in another field, she stopped painting for more than a decade.

In 2005, she began painting again, first in acrylics then adding elements of collage and stitching.

Today, she is a full-time artist with a studio in Hudson, OH. Her work is collected throughout the United States and internationally.
