Karen Stoskopf Harding
Artist Statement:
I admire the strong imagery and transcendent qualities of the art of native peoples. In my own work I seek to investigate and to translate the mystical/spirtual phenomena of nature and the human condition.
The human head has been my special focus over the years, with an earlier series of bronze masks, and a current series of encaustic masks decorated in symbollic fashion.
