Karen Fortier

Karen Fortier is a non-traditional watercolorist who enjoys playing with various mediums as she searches for new ways to tell her stories. Her self-directed education has been concentrated on exploring different techniques that she can incorporate into her paintings. Watercolor is her medium of choice and she embraces the way it can create “happy accidents” that she can she finds intriguing. Her mantra is “what if” and that helps to keep a sense of play as she paints, which is key for her. Her paintings are finished with thin coats of cold wax medium to seal them after they have been mounted to cradled wood panels. Displaying them without having to hide them behind glass allows in to be seen without the glare.
