The Cyber Art Show
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature a 12-piece Exhibition of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Karen Hitt (born 1960 in Columbus, Ohio).
Karen is an award-winning artist, classically- trained at Parson’s School of Design in New York, majoring in Illustration. That classic background is evident in her style, along with her love of capturing the figure and the effects of light in all of her scenes. Her paintings are noted to accentuate the effects of light, adding to their luminosity with her landscapes/skyscapes reflecting the essence of the landmark.
Karen’s award-winning paintings have been collected by private and corporate collections, such as Venice City Hall locally and nationally the U.S. I.R.S. Her Illustrations have been published nationally in both children’s picture books and distributed in a line of gifts.
Notably awarded: participant in “Paint the Parks” & “Paint America” National Exhibits, 2006 recipient of the Muses Award, Member Oil Painters of America. She is the founder of the Venice Plein Air group and signature member of Plein Air Florida, member Light Chasers PASC. She is a Nationally Exhibiting Artist, featured in the plein-air magazine OutdoorPainter.com.
The one-woman exhibit "At That Moment..." (2/27-3/20/2015) is an exhibit two- and-a-half years in the making. Featuring the plein air paintings from her five month, 21,000-mile solo journey crisscrossing the U.S.A. en plein air, the people and the places all along the way displayed at where it all began, the Venice Art Center’s Pat Buster Gallery/Museum, a major venue where 70 paintings will be displayed from 4-by-6-inch plein air works to 40-by-60-inch studio paintings.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"My paintings capture influential daily moments, and the lasting efects these memories play on our hearts and minds throughout our lives. As an artist, the passion is to reflect light, life, land expressions as genuinely experienced "At That Moment..."
"I paint in the hope to transport the viewer while also exposing them to the very emotion that stops us both now in our tracks to experience a view; simply, seeking with my art to bring you into viewing your own, "At That Moment...", too.
