Karen J. Covey is an abstract artist whose work is inspired by her love of vintage goods. By working with materials that already have a history, each piece is an organic process of discovery, allowing the materials to instinctively guide her as she begins. Through thoughtfully-curated textiles and materials, her work is an experimentation of layers, creating a balanced composition of textures, intentional marks, and hand-stitching. Working within a limited palette; preferring instead to experiment with tonality, texture, and composition, the artist creates work that is minimal, yet very contemplative. It’s part of a meditative process that allows her to focus on each piece as it unfolds, turning each into its own new story.
