    Karen L. Burns

    Born in Baltimore, MD/ Works in Bethany Beach, DE

    Karen Burns began a new journey of artistic self-discovery after leaving behind the fast pace of Corporate America. Now living in a Delaware beach town, she draws inspiration from the shifting coastal landscape and the subtle beauty of life’s small details. For Karen, these small moments reveal life’s deeper truths, shaping her artistic process. Her recent collection, The Empowerment Series, reflects her personal quest to find balance in a polarized world. Using bold colors and layered textures, Karen’s paintings explore themes of strength, resilience, protection with vulnerability. Each piece is designed to resonate with the viewer, encouraging moments of introspection and connection.
