West City by Karen Frascella

Karen Frascella

Karen Frascella is an enthusiastic artist and dancer who thrives on the engagement she generates when putting her imagination to work. Her approach to painting is always filled with curiosity, never limiting herself to one style, color, or technique. Over the years, Karen’s work has shifted between gestural abstractions with sweeping lines of color to more calculated geometric forms. Lately, Karen has been interested in the organization of shapes, and is fascinated with arranging them in various ways to see how they interact with one another on the canvas. She will sometimes create a prototype of a painting with examples of her brushstrokes before settling on what to apply to her final canvas, choosing to tweak or alter small details. Regardless of what style or technique she is aiming for, Karen always enjoys the process and sharing her work with the world.
