Karen Fedderson is an award-winning fine art oil painter, based in Santa Barbara. Karen grew up by the sea in Venice, California, where she developed her lifetime love of the ocean. She began to paint with oils at a very early age and this became her second great love. Though mostly self taught, she studied art in Europe and earned a degree in Fine Art and Design. Her earlier influences were Monet, Vermeer and Rembrandt. She studied the work of these masters in the original while in Europe. Monet’s brilliant pallet influenced the natural colors she finds in nature and reproduces on canvas. Vermeer and Rembrandt helped her awareness of the effect of light upon the subject. Contemporary artists who influence her work include April Gornik and Joseph McGurl.
