Karen L. Burns

Born in Baltimore, MD/ Works in Bethany Beach, DE
BIO
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.
My work is rooted in the belief that life’s small moments often carry the deepest meaning. As an artist, I’m drawn to color and texture as tools for storytelling, building layered, abstract compositions that reflect both strength and vulnerability. Each piece is an exploration—a balance between chaos and calm, simplicity and complexity, boldness and quiet reflection. Through my art, I hope to create an intimate space for connection, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and discover something personal within. For me, every brushstroke is a reminder that small things —both in life and in art—can spark transformation and resilience.
