Karen’s vision for her painted furniture is inspired by the increasing volume of waste accumulated in landfills yearly. Karen feels that re-painting a piece of furniture breathes new life into the work and gives the piece one last chance in the spot life. Her furniture is transformed into pieces of art, allowing the discussion of combining vintage pieces with modern contemporary styles. Again, Karen involves her concept of contradiction in her pieces whereby an old piece becomes new again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
