I love to create work that celebrates beauty and a sense of tranquility. I’m inspired by Matisse’s quote: “What I dream of is an art of balance… and serenity…something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.” I hope that my paintings will offer an oasis and respite from a turbulent world.

Biography
Born in Toronto, Karen Rieger grew up in an artistic environment. Her mother Charlotte was always engaged in creative projects around the home and her father Theodor was a talented artist who received his classical training in Czechoslovakia. In Toronto he had a long and successful career as an art director, an illustrator and in his later years pursued his passion as a fine artist.
Although surrounded by this creativity, Karen came late to her artistic pursuits. In her early twenties while studying English Literature at the University of Toronto, she found herself much happier doodling than writing essays. She went on to spend two years studying at “The Art Centre”- Central Technical School’s renowned post-secondary art program, before completing her art education at the Ontario College of Art.
Since then she has shown widely in numerous galleries throughout North America
Karen is currently represented by galleries in Canada and the United States:
