Please welcome Karen Cooper to our family of artist. Karen is an incredibale pastel artist from Santa Fe, NM. All of here works are accomplished with soft pastels on black pastel paper. Her subjects are partial images on the black paper relying heavily on the negative space to convey each composition and as you can see by these paintings her ability to convey a story with each piece is absolutely wonderful. You just have to stop by the gallery to appreciate her pastel pieces. They are truely one of a kind.
