karen pike is a los angeles
based artist Education Los
Angeles County High School For
The Arts University of
Arizona, bachlers in fine arts


Karen Pike is a uniquely
talented rising star on the
art scene. She has created
many pieces during her career
and the art displayed here is
a culmination of her lifetime
of painting. It includes an
eclectic mix of the artists'
favorite pieces. After
graduating from University
Arizona with a bachelors
degree in fine arts, Her work
is expressive but loose with
bold brush strokes and lots of
movement, her art really
moves! There's the presence of
duality in a lot of her
paintings and multiple stories
in her pictures which inspires
each collector seasoned or
aspiring personal
interpretation with each of
her pieces. However, each
piece commands strength and
stability by holding that
delicate stroke of structure
by the tip of her brush and
her use of strong vibrant
colors.

She has been featured at many
art shows, festivals,
galleries and exhibitions in
Laguna,San Degio, New York,
throughout the Southwest and
as far away as Japan ...
