Karen Banker
an intimate connection

I experience art as the intimate connection that occurs between the viewer and the materials with which I use. It is in that negative space where art becomes alive and a two-way conversation takes place. For some connections, the intimacy involves volumes of words spoken by the viewer. The materials listen intently and pull the viewer’s words into its paint, expanding its presence outward to its admirer. At other times, it is a lover's silence that fills the space as the viewer’s eyes slowly dance and caress the canvas. Facial expressions become integrated with layers of paint, as the viewer attempts to put meaning to the materials.

I do not strive to create great paintings. It is that intimacy, that alluring, hypnotic connection that I strive to facilitate, to create. When no connection exists, my art does not exist. Yet when connection ignites, viewer and materials intertwine and art breathes life.

Please note: You must have a Windows Media Player™ to hear the sound files we provide without subscription. Your computer probably came with this installed, but you can obtain a free copy of Media Player™ (or update an older one) at:
Microsoft Dowloads

*A NOTE:
If you have a slow connection there are some things we can suggest to make listening easier:

  • Your computer may require long periods while the file downloads but you can go to other pages or sites while the download is processing. (Sites with very large files will slow the download.) If you choose this approach, be sure to plan your listening ahead so you can allow for a longer wait while the file downloads. It may appear that nothing is happening during this time so be patient.
