Artist Information
Karen never strayed far from beaches and coastal areas which have fed her creative energy from a child through today.
Karen showcased her creative talents in Karen Mack Tiles with custom mosaics, tiles and classes. Karen Mack Tiles exhibited in multiple international trade shows through “Coverings”. After 10 years, Karen closed her shop, and retired from mosaics completely after 18 years of creating. Karen Mack’s mosaics were easily recognizable.
She began learning unique processes for metal, resin, concrete, wood, paper, photography, fiber and chemicals. These processes produced unique items that work their way into her mixed media pieces.
Karen’s love of the coast was predominate in her art until the pandemic when all shows were cancelled (full inventory) and when her need to “create” had to be filled. She turned to Nature’s gifts to create “Mother Nature” personas on canvas. She also created Ornamented Photography by enlarging her photos and ornamenting them on a canvas. Today she had added a bit of mosaic to her coastal Gods and Goddesses. Custom pieces are a specialty.
Karen strives for and achieves an emotional hook in her work that makes the viewer feel something, making her pieces have that “Karen Mack signature look”.
