I consider my style as contemporary impressionism, and I work in oils and watercolor. I work both plein aire and in my studio. I translate countrysides and seascapes into colorful images that convey my impressions of the scene. My work has been inspired by Monet, Van Gogh, Hopper and Sargent. I am a graduate of the University of Rhode Island. You can contact the artist at: karenmaynard111@hotmail.com.
