KAREN McCALLUM
Painting the Canadian Landscape
It's tough to decide which brings me greater joy: making art or teaching art. So I decided I don't have to decide. I do both. I could wax eloquent about how important tapping into our creative selves is, but why don't I just come to your workplace for a time and we can explore this together? We can call it group therapy, business development, morale boosting, art education or serious play (which was the name of my last workshop).
A warning: this may unleash some serious creativity and joy. It may even lower your stress levels or make you feel euphoric, curious, fearless, and maybe even a little bit like a kid.
It's easy! I will actually come to visit you.
I live in Edmonton, but I'm allowed to go wherever I like, because I'm a grown up. So let's make it happen.

I have a deep appreciation for my home, Alberta. The Rocky Mountains, rolling fields and forests inspire my paintings. I paint to hold memories and create connections.
I work primarily in acrylics that allow me to layer paint transparently and opaquely over a jewel-toned underpainting that often peeks through. I inject my paintings with intensified colours, quiet the chaos of shapes to extract the essence of a place.
My style is continuously evolving as I experiment in new mediums and methods. I'll dabble in anything messy and fun which explains my new addiction to making pottery.
I am an Active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and sits on the board of her local chapter. She's a CARFAC and Gallery 501 member.
