About

[ X ]

Kara is an oil painter currently studying at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. She is interested in abstracting interiors, often by forcing an imagined perspective, or relying on the light and materiality of the negative space. While often figurative, her pieces tend to focus on a rhythmic arrangement of shape and color. Placing equal attention on human subject and background, she is interested in creating a relationship which obscures the importance of one over the other.
