'Journeys With Color: Paintings Large and Small'

Join us on August 3 from 5-8 p.m. in the Plaza of the Rockies lobby for the First Friday opening reception for “Journeys With Color: Paintings Large and Small,” by Karen Standridge.

Food provided by Chef Stevie. Live music provided by Zak Sloan. Karen’s work will be on display until August 31.

This display is part of “Forever Yours, The Land”™, a project of Palmer Land Trust. When art and nature collide, the result is a spell-binding city-wide art exhibit focused on what we love about living in Colorado Springs! Head out to “Forever Yours, The Land”™ and share the passion for conservation with local artists from August 3 to September 9. https://www.celebrateland.org/

Artist’s Statement

“I cannot remember a time when I didn’t paint or draw. In addition to studying fine art at the University of Tulsa, I have worked with a number of well-known national and international artists: Herman Raymond, Jerry Yarnell, Zoltan Szabo, Judi Wagner, Diane Maxey, Tom Owen, Alvaro Castegnet, Frank Francese, Frank Webb, Skip Lawrence, John Salminen, and Ron Ranson.

I enjoy painting in watercolor, acrylic and oil, and I specialize in landscapes, street scenes, and interiors of places where I have lived and traveled, such as Colorado, South America, Mexico, and Europe. I am a signature member of the Pikes Peak Watercolor Society and the Western Colorado Watercolor Society. My work is exhibited all over the U.S. and abroad in shows, private collections and competitions.”
