Twigs and rosebuds. Swirling patterns and drips of color. Shapes remiscent of wishbones, knots and ropes—what do these suggest about the true nature of things? That is the question artist Karen Sardisco poses in her work. Using mixed media such as acrylics paints, conte crayon, and pastels, Karen uses simple forms from nature to "convey the energies that hum beneath the day-to-day surface of things."
Karen, a working artist and professor of fine arts at Monroe Community College, says that art is a visual conversation that helps her connect with issues that are important to her. "I believe that as a vehicle for transformation, art is revelatory," she says. "I like to force forms together that may not seem to have much of a connection. I want my audience to try to piece together what the relationships may be."
Karen received a B.S. in Art Education from SUNY College at Buffalo, and an MFA in Painting from Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Art and Design. She is a practicing artist whose recent exhibitions include the 51st Chautauqua National Exhibition, and the First Rochester Biennial at the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY. Her work is included in many public and private collections.
