Oil Paintings by Karen Mobley which explore gardens, nature and spirit.

My curiosity about spirit in art has grown since I wrote my undergrad thesis on Wassily Kandinsky. These works are glimpses of the spiritual, the magical, the positive in a time of sadness and conflict. These works show what is seen through the cracks in the window, the gap in the door, the quick glimpse across the yard…. inspired by things I see in my ordinary mornings – walks in nature, in my garden and in my daily life. I desire to create works of art that allow the viewer to “get lost” in the shapes, textures, colors, and spaces. In the same way that one might seek a peaceful heart on a bike ride, these works for me are an intersection between nature and spirit, craft and feeling. Some are abstract and others illustrative.
