Karen Tamminga-Paton
Painter – Acrylic/Mixed-Media
The subject matter of Karen’s paintings reflect what has influenced her life: big, noisy immigrant family, years of teaching high school fine arts and environmental stewardship; her wanderings along back-country trails, and the many conversations about faith and the human condition over a good artisan beer with friends. When life gets really complicated, though, she’s quite happy just painting trees. Her painting studio is in Historical Downtown Coleman. Karen lives with her husband, Dale, in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, where they raised three daughters and share the land with 2 dogs, 2 ducks and a growing population of gophers.
