MobileArtShow-1This month's show features the work of artist Karen Russell. She'll be displaying eight 30" by 40" painted portraits of women in various states of shock, sadness or solitude in muted soft colors, along with several smaller-sized prints perfect for framing.









MobileArtShow-3About Karen Russell: I suffered an expulsion from the womb on April 22, 1983. I was born with ten fingers and ten toes. Briefly reared in my place of conception, East Hanover, NJ., my family moved to Florida. Dabbling with different mediums, I soon fell for pigment on canvas. My main focus has been the human animal. Painting someone's portrait is akin to falling in love with them. As an artist, you notice both the minute perfections and imperfections that only a lover would notice. I reside in Orlando, Florida as an artist, and an out of work waitress.
