Hi, I'm Karly ☀️

I'm a Pacific Northwest artist creating colorful, emotionally driven paintings inspired by movement, intuition, nature, memory, and the feeling of being fully alive.

After years working as a nurse, I found myself deeply burnt out and disconnected from my creativity. Painting became a way back to myself — slower, more intuitive, more present, and more honest. What started as healing gradually became the life I was always meant for.

My work is layered, expressive, imperfect on purpose, and rooted in feeling over perfection. I'm drawn to bold color, organic movement, texture, spontaneity, and creating paintings that feel alive within a space. Many of my pieces are created intuitively through layers of mixed media, allowing movement, transparency, drips, and emotion to guide the final composition.

I'm especially inspired by the way color can completely shift the feeling of a room and the feeling inside of us. My hope is that each piece brings warmth, aliveness, curiosity, emotion, softness, and joy into everyday spaces.

Thank you for being here and supporting my work.

Color You Can Feel 💛
