Karen Richardson

Karen Richardson’s realistic paintings of northern Canadian scenery are authentically inspired by her lifelong exploration of unspoiled places by RV, motorcycle, snowmobile, and kayak.  

Having grown up near Algonquin Park in northern Ontario, surrounded by the terrain of the Canadian Shield, she is drawn instinctively to rocky wilderness scenery.

Her unique artistic journey is to paint the places in nature that soothe our souls. To date, over 800 of her watercolour creations are enjoyed by collectors in 20+ countries.

Karen paints on watercolour paper, bonded to an archival wood panel, and protects the artwork with varnish instead of glass. This gives her work the visual impact of an oil or acrylic painting, while showcasing the soft colour transitions and glowing light effects of traditional watercolour.
