Artist Name: Karen Holcomb
Title of Artwork: New Hampshire Pond
Medium: Oil
Artist Bio:
Karen Holcomb always drew and painted in school, and earned a degree in costume design at the University of Texas. After a few years as a theatrical costumer, she worked as an administrator at the university, retired after 26 years and moved to Hot Springs in 2003 with husband Bob Nagy. Inspired by attending Gallery Walk, Karen finally took up painting once more after a
hiatus of 40 years, and hasn’t stopped since.
Artist Statement:
On a trip to New England, I walked by this pond and caught a patch of lily pads in bloom. Inspired by the rich colors of the pond and memories of Monet’s Water lilies, I created this work, trying for an image of a quiet place in late afternoon. The image reminds us to take a moment to pause and reflect.
