I apply oils, acrylics, wax, contrasting colors and lines on canvas. My style is Abstract Realism. My focus is on movement and energy through color. Painting with bold opposite colors and intense lines makes my process more instinctive to the energy and messages I want to convey.

Capturing emotion is everything! I achieve this by incorporating color, energy and texture into my work. Inspired by music I choose the emotion or energy I want to convey in a painting. The subject matter is often related to strength and vulnerability. I strive to convey the power we each possess, but sometimes forget, as a reminder that we can overcome any struggles we encounter in this life. My paintings begin with a charcoal sketch, and are then finished with layers of different mediums and many layers of paint. They can best be described as contemporary Impressionism. The purpose of my work is very simple. I hope that when looking at my paintings, viewers can find strength and inspiration for every day life. My artwork is unique, sometimes quirky and thought provoking.

I paint with acrylics on high-quality canvases using brushes and palette knives. Listening to music while painting allows me to stay in the creative/right side of my brain. My paintings depict the peacefulness I feel when looking at a vast horizon whether it land of a body of water.

My subject matter is nature, whether it is a traditional landscape or a bird and flower painting. I use acrylic paints, ink and brush on gallery stretched canvas, to capture movement and life in abstraction and let the viewer fill in the blanks to bring the painting to life. I love using bold, vibrant colors and forms. My goal is to inspire those who see my work to look more carefully at the world around them, to discover beauty in unusual places and things.

I am a local, Minneapolis-based, self-taught artist who is inspired by the use of bold, dynamic colors in my paintings both in my acrylic and watercolor paintings. Spontaneous realism is a style of art that I embrace in my art. I have painted full-time for close to 5 years. I also love to live paint at many events.

The Art Of Karri Jamison

2023 Booth #68

Karri Jamison is a professional nature painter who’s unique style of art merges two painting genres: abstract expressionism and realism. She refers to her style of painting as “Whimsical Nature”. Her work features stark black and white backgrounds combined with meticulously hand drawn and painted nature iconography. Karri’s use of clean precise lines and highly detailed brush strokes gives her work a modern edge. Her current series of paintings feature the birds and woodlands of the Midwest. Each painting starts with an idea or scene inspired by Karri’s observation of nature and her imagination. She doesn’t work from a photo. All of the scenes in Karri’s paintings are her own composition. Often, clients ask Karri if her work is digital or photography. While flattering, the truth is, no. Every inch of each painting is meticulously drawn and painted free hand. The average time it takes Karri to create a painting is 200-600 hours. It takes an enormous amount of dedication, patience, and skill to achieve each painting. The only tools she uses to create her highly detailed birds are: acrylic paint, graphite pencil, and paint brushes only 3 to .5 millimeters in diameter.
Karri’s favorite subject matter to paint is birds and trees. In fact, she considers herself a “bird-nerd” and often can be found traipsing through marshes, woodlands, and prairies looking for birds to study and paint. “Birds are a huge part of my life. Each bird has a unique personality that I try to capture in my paintings. The patterns on their feathers are so intricate…I can’t help but enjoy the challenge and beauty each bird represents.”

Including, Best in Show at the Lakeville Art Festival, the Merit Award at the Uptown Art Festival, and the Award of Excellence at the Edina Art Fair. Karri graduated from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee-Peck School of The Arts in 2007 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Painting & Drawing. Since graduation, Karri travels around the Midwest showing her artwork in museums, galleries and at fine art shows.
