KAREN PANNABECKER, ARTIST

I used to think of myself as a figurative painter. Even when I tried to paint a landscape, an animal or a person would inevitably appear. As of late I've begun to paint a person or an animal and instead an abstract landscape appears. I've been told it doesn't matter whether it's a landscape, a portrait or a figurative painting, you can always tell it's mine. I hope that's because it comes from the same place. A place that brings me a sense of satisfaction and joy.

I've recently discovered a passion for welding. I'm finding there are many similarities between painting and welding steel.
