Biography

Karen Folgner is an abstract artist from San Francisco. She is currently represented by the Shayne Gallery in Montreal, Canada.

Artist’s Statement:

I am repeatedly inspired by the abstract expressionist painters of San Francisco.  I love the colors that are so indicative of the post WWII era and the techniques strongly reinforce my impasto tendencies.  Furthermore, I enjoy the therapy of expressing an essence or an idea through paint.  Just as the world around us is ever-changing, my practice has continued to evolve with each new piece I create. Every time I step into the studio, I bring positive energy and my student-for-life motto.
