Sylvan Gallery Artist: Chris Karpinski

Chris Karpinski has years of experience painting the landscape en plein air. Her new large vertical paintings are less about the literal depiction of the details of the landscape. Instead Karpinski has created paintings that are meditations on nature. These works are expressions of Karpinski’s inner spiritual feelings for the natural world.

Karpinski conveys space, light, and atmosphere with thin washes of paint and close tonal values. Each painting has it’s own unique color harmony. Each is a reprieve from a busy, hectic world, to a place of quiet contemplation.

Chris Karpinski is an award winning artist. Her work has shown at the Royal Academy of Fine Art in London. In May of 2004, she was featured in a three-person exhibit at Sylvan Gallery for paintings that she created during a two-week artist’s residency at the International Arts retreat in County Kerry, Ireland. Karpinski’s work can be seen regularly at the the Essex Art Association and the Lyme Art Association where she is an elected artist member. Karpinski studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts.
