artist karen sole
I started late, untaught, wild and free. My inspiration comes from life around me, or around the globe; places I've been and seen or that in other ways delight me, or events that shock us all. Usually I have a feeling but not a plan, and what comes out expresses beauty in chaos, chaos in beauty.

My Art Life History

No art school. No tuition.
​It began with a brief skirmish with dry and oil pastels on A4 paper
around the millennium, when I was living on the Aegean coast of Turkey.
Once that was over, nothing except a few dozen greeting card sized paintings
until 2012, when a handful of works on canvas happened.
In 2014 my consistent practice got under way.
