Karen Robbins
Mixed Media Artist
It has been over a decade now that I have gravitated to Mixed Media as my preferred Art Form. For me, Mixed Medium is liberating. It allows me to explore and collect. It fuels my love of paper, found objects, repurposed and recycled materials. I collect vintage papers, international newspapers, magazines and treasure hunt for diverse found objects. The unexpected additions, like corrugated box papers, personal photographs, gives my work the details that I am intent on creating.
Recently, I discovered Printmaking after taking a course at a local Museum School. It was at this time that I started to incorporate Prints into my work and seeing that it was impossible to replicated the school setting with their large and expensive machinery, I learned how to do Printmaking at my own home Studio. I experimented with various substrates and learned how to use a Gel Plate to keep the creation process going.
