Karen Faller is a mixed-media encaustic painter – painting with beeswax, tree resin & pigments – who incorporates photography, printmaking, and found objects in her art. Originally from Canada and now living in Madison, WI, she studied and worked as a biologist in British Columbia and New Zealand before working as an artist. A love of nature is interwoven throughout her work, which often incorporates local flora and fauna, or connects to places she's lived or travelled. Her work explores the themes of connecting to and belonging to a certain place, moments of change (big and small), patterns, the weathering of time, and the idea of impermanence.
