Where She Lives Now (Karen Jones)

Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas oil, embroidery thread and ribbon
Dimensions: 21.5 x 17.5
 

A portrait of identity as something constructed, imagined, and lived into.

The figure carries an entire environment within her hat—architecture, landscape, and possibility—suggesting that the places we long for often begin as internal visions before becoming real.

Dimensional elements extend the painting into physical space, blurring the line between fantasy and lived experience, and inviting the viewer to consider what they are building for themselves.
