Karen K Lewis

Karen K. Lewis is primarily a studio painter who works in oils, sometimes on a large scale. She spent the early eras of her career in the Washington DC and New York areas. She appeared in multiple shows and spent a decade as a principal of the Pindar Gallery in Manhattan's Soho. Upon moving to Ojai in 1990, she fell in love with the landscape and joined the throng of local plein air painters. She now divides her time between plein air painting, studio painting and printmaking.

Paintings and prints by Karen grace the collections of the Ojai Valley Museum and the City of Ojai, and scores of private collections across the United States and in Mexico, Switzerland, and Japan. She regularly exhibits at the Ojai Valley Museum, the Santa Paula Art Museum, the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, the Ojai Center for the Arts, the Santa Barbara Printmakers annual shows, the Ventura County Government Center gallery, and the Ojai City Hall gallery. She also has participated in exhibits at the Museum of Ventura County and the Carnegie Art Museum in Oxnard. A longtime member (and past president) of the Ojai Studio Artists, she shows her work during the group’s annual studio tour.
