Karen Williams-Brusubardis
The Intersection of Memory and Imagination

Growing up in rural western Wisconsin, I spent most of my childhood exploring the woods of my parents' 20+ acres of land. I was an introverted, quiet and sensitive child with a love of exploring both the world around me and the world inside my mind. Today, my paintings and drawings are reflections of my mind's journey through those childhood places where the remembered and the imagined intersect. My imagination influences my memories. What I choose to take with me from my past is altered over time by what I believe myself to be and what I want to become. The daughter of a retired mink rancher and a Bolivian seamstress, I was naturally drawn to the unique combination of rural life and the colorful Bolivian textiles of my mother's homeland. These influences revealed themselves early on in my paintings through my use of nature-based themes as well as my color sensibilities. After high school, I moved to Milwaukee to attend The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) where I received my BFA in painting 4 years later. Over the years, I've refined my aesthetic style of painting whimsical, yet meditative, landscapes. Patterned with vibrant color combinations woven together with a paintbrush, a tapestry of intricate particle formations began to emerge in what I now call, my Particle Landscape series of acrylic paintings.
