Karen Visentin
Learning and evolving is perpetual; knowing this is exciting!
I am always excited when I have new ideas and perspectives. However, I do not seek inspiration. Whenever I open myself up, take a look around, and follow my heart, creative ideas find me. Being able to take those ideas and create with my hands and eyes is a gift that I treasure and wish to share.
My hope, as an artist, is to stimulate thoughts and emotions.
I thrive when working on several projects at once - so, I continually paint with watercolours (my first love). I'm always creating new designs for greeting cards and prints while exploring various surfaces and techniques. I enjoy stepping away from painting to create one-of-a-kind, handcrafted concrete leaf castings.
For me, balancing my work, family and art is what life is about.
​
I was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and currently reside in Welland.
I'm a graduate of the Visual Art & Design Program, Niagara College.
​
My work has been displayed at The Pelham Art Festival, Rodman Hall (Juried Show), the Queenston Art Show, the Niagara Falls Art Gallery, and Welland Historical Museum.
