KAREN FLESCHLER Watercolors by KB
I'm a watercolor artist because I love how the paint can be manipulated on paper. I enjoy the process from start to finish - from deciding what to paint, why I want to paint it, how I'm going to compose it and what colors and perspective do I want to apply and emphasize. My style of paint application is bright, loose under-painting with tight, textural brush strokes for the final layer. I'm very much into color and fancy myself a colorist. My themes usually come from things I have experienced and places that I have traveled to. I relive my memories through my art. Lately, I have been experimenting with watercolor canvas and the artistic styles of non-representational and representational abstract.
I'm a native of the San Francisco Bay Area and have lived here all my life. I graduated from San Jose State University with a B.A. in Social Science/Psychology and completed graduate work to achieve a teaching credential. After raising my family, I decided to enroll in art classes. I've been a professional artist since 2003 and have won many awards and have sold my paintings both nationally and internationally. I hope my work brings you pleasure.
As an aside, I sign my paintings 'KB' which is a family nickname. I do it as a way to honor relatives who have passed and to keep precious memories alive.
Commissions are accepted. I will paint places you have visited or lived or scenes you want to capture as memories.
