I am a "fan" of the art of Karen Wood, having been introduced to it last year (2003). What always strikes me upon seeing any of her pieces is how the image and the technique and the message seem so organically and naturally intertwined.Some of what I find in Karen's work are a dream/child-like quality that is truly fresh. You are drawn into the image each time you view it and yet, it always retains that freshness that one usually only find in the natural world. The technique disappears and becomes the message. Simple is deepening and levels and layers and juxtapositions are the "story of life". That's it...Karen's work is as real, elusive, healing and mysterious as life itself. All I know is that I keep coming back.
