Karen A. Hummel
“When encountering something that personally resonates, I translate with the media that most expresses the subject, moment, or mood.
Metaphors often engage me .
I continue to explore deeper and more universal themes utilizing the imagery which I then coax with the tools of the artist.
The journey continues as I interact with the aesthetic experience in moments that reveal the familiar.”
