About the Instructor
Karen Olson is a lens-based artist working at the intersection of human emotion and the natural world. In her figurative and nature-inspired work, Karen uses concept-based projects to explore the human/nature connection and its role in subjects such as grief, trauma, empathy, and forest bathing. She illustrates these multi-sensory experiences with two and three-dimensional works in photography and paper sculpture. Karen’s exhibition The Embrace opens in the Clifford Gallery at Waterfall Arts on Friday June 3, 2022.
