About the Item
Artist Comments
"McCormick is a popular American spice brand. Its iconic red and white tin is easily identifiable," says Karen. "Black pepper became a popular spice ingredient around the world when the Silk Road and other ancient trade routes were established." Karen describes her paintings as being "of a historical nature." She seeks out subject matter that represents contemporary culture and also acts as a timeless icon. The results are aesthetically pleasing little pieces that offer a freeze frame of our fast changing culture and attach to personal memories.
About the Artist
Oil painter Karen Barton creates records of everyday objects through a historical and sentimental lens. With works that feature the ingredients of a PB sandwich or the iconic blue Morton's Salt container, Karen makes a connection through the goods that reach into our homes and possibly to our childhoods. As she explains, "my paintings are of a historical nature. They mostly represent contemporary culture and our current time in history while others are ‘timeless icons.'" Karen collects her subjects at local grocery, hardware, or antique stores where she often attracts curious stares while she intently examines the items. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Karen shares a studio with her artist husband, which she describes as a busy looking place with art supplies and a bright yellow futon with Libby, their beloved studio dog.

- Blue-Green Cubist CafeBy Rachel SrinivasanLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
This painting is a cubist version of recent coffee art I have created. The geometric repeated mokka pattern backed by the green blue hues connote joy and imagination and love of pattern. This piece is on gallery wrapped canvas and the painting continues around the sides. It comes ready to hang.About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer, she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.Blue-Green Cubist...
