Seasoned, contemporary, Canadian artist,

Karen Phillips Curran, living in Nova Scotia

brings a lifetime of experience to her art.

 I have always been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the moment. It's why I work in a series. It is also why I paint in watercolours. But with whatever medium I am using, I tell visual stories of watersides, or of elusive dancing shadows on textured surfaces, or fleeting vignettes that render a tale of the landscape of Nova Scotia and the people who live here...

I also acknowledge that my home and studio are on Mi'kma'ki, the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people. While recognizing  that this territory is governed by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which established a relationship of peace and friendship between Mi'kmaq, and the British Crown.
