"If one advances confidently
in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavors to live the life
which he has imagined, he will
meet with a success unexpected
in common hours."
--Henry David Thoreau
Scharer Fine Art
The Art of Karen Scharer

My art reflects my faith in imagination and intuition, and my desire to explore and communicate the profound beauty of our world and the human experience. Through painting, my ideas and visions become tangible, providing a language to share, encourage, inspire, and uplift.

My paintings are not pre-planned. Each piece evolves as though it were a conversation between old friends... sometimes lighthearted and joyful, sometimes contentious or troubling. This spontaneity allows each painting to reflect the singular character of the special moments in which it was created.


WHAT'S NEW
This year continues to be an exciting one...My painting "Bloom" has just been selected for the 2010 National Art Encounter at the VonLiebig Art Center in Naples, Florida. I was honored to win the "Artist's Choice" award for my painting "Puzzle" at the 2010 Women's History Month exhibition this spring at the Cultural Arts Council Gallery in Estes Park, Colorado.
In June, the Denver Polo Club selected me as the featured artist for the 2010 International Polo Classic event for charity, and in February, The Morgan Adams Foundation honored me by featuring my painting "Ritual" on the cover of the auction catalog for their 2010 "artma" event in Denver!
I do hope you will call (toll-free 1-877-841-9037) to schedule a visit at the studio if you are in my area, or stop by one of my "Galleries" to see my latest work. You can also keep up with what's new right here on the website.
