Fine Art Portraits

"Art is an emotional experience. The method an artist uses to convey that emotion is the medium. And while photography has been my medium of choice for most of my life, I am now adding digital painting as a means to enhance my photographic portraits. Where once a photograph was the end result of my artistic endeavors, it is now just the beginning."

A fine art portrait by Karen Walker is a true work of art with the craftsmanship of a classical painting. Working with a timeless setting and graceful posing, the subject's personality and expression become the soul of the portrait.

Combining photography and art, Karen creates a unique style of portraiture with the realism of a photograph and the distinctive richness of a painting. Tremendous attention to detail is given to every area of creating the portrait. From the initial planning to choosing the perfect frame, each commission becomes a unique and personalized work of art you will be proud to display in your home.

It takes just a fraction of a second for a camera to take a picture, creating a work of art is a considerably more involved process.
To begin the process of creating your custom portrait, you are invited to visit Karen's studio in East Jordan where you may view samples of her work and discuss the different styles available for your portrait. Please call for your personal appointment.
