Artist Karen Bruson has been with Maine Art Hill for a couple of years, and her work is starting to take on a signature our clients and visitors recognize and admire. From her vibrant color to her local themes, Brusons work is pure joy.

Bruson showed humility and honesty when asked to share insight about this summer show. “I’m much more fluid with paint and a brush than paper and a pen,” she shared before her show began on Saturday, May 25.

 

However, she did share some insight, which lets us examine some of the works she created for this event more closely.

 

“I’m compelled to paint the energy of a busy beach, yet I try to simplify what I see,” Bruson says. “It takes courage, or perhaps stupidity, to attempt such a challenge, but I love being at the shore with all the colors, shapes, sounds, and movement.”

Bruson thrives on the challenge and lets it bring her back to the joy of her early childhood days.

 

“My work is a symphony of crashing waves, the hum of talking and laughing,  with squawking seagulls adding to the rhythm,” Bruson says when describing her beach scenes. “I’m also completely drawn to the patterns of umbrellas.”

 

When at the beach, we see people connecting all around us. Bruson says, “There’s a spirit of joy, and when the subject matter is fun, the paint flows easily.”
