Karyn's Artist Statement:

I currently call my artwork "Archeytypal Images." I am inexplicably drawn to folklore, myth and ancient cultures, and have explored numerous physical locations on this planet where ancient people lived and left their imprint. I have always been interested in the symbols and images used by indigenous people to communicate about their connection to Nature. My art involves animals, sacred places, and most recently lost
languages that stimulate latent unconscious memories of another time. Some people have felt themselves drawn into the paintings as if into a gateway to another space/time. I am interested in merging the ancient
with the modern, in the interplay of contemporary design within an archetypal template. My work is an exploration of those dynamics, and in many ways an ongoing experiment with the alchemy of time and
consciousness.

I am self-taught, with my research having been more in the field of mythology, archeology and anthropology. My media is acrylic primarily, and also some watercolor. I try to paint from the right side of the
brain and let the images emerge. I learn from the paintings and often don't understand them until many months have gone by.
