"Karensky is a name that was given to me as an endearment by my father, a master watercolor artist, the late, James Harold Miller.
I was born in Tennessee and it is still my home...Though, my heart, mind and sometimes my body wanders around in and out of West Virginia , India and New York .
I have been an artist from birth and I look at all of life with these eyes. Born into a family of artists and craftswomen - At an early age, we were all given art materials and musical instruments along with the uncensored ability to create completely with them. I consider myself genetically inclined and self- taught. I have done 'bodywork' as another profession for 24 years and studied Ayurvedic Lifestyle/Medicine both in Cambridge, MA and India. I consider it a privilege to work with people in this and other healing mediums. I have practiced meditation for many years and know that it has been one of the main inspirations for the objects that appear in my paintings. Also, I find Social Work and Psychology great tools for self discovery. I am fascinated with EMDR as it is another inspiration for my work. The objects and characters in my paintings are mostly seen as sights in between physical and spiritual world. A link. The energy of color intrigues me. My main medium is watercolor with pure gold leaf -
I use rays of sunlight for shape on the paper or linen.
If someone feels inspired by my work– something inside stirs–a special pause–this is wonderful ! a joy to hear and confirms my purpose.
