Karen Anne Isaksen Glick is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Her work has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally.

A nomad since birth, Karen Anne moved twenty-nine times before settling in her present home. The experience of moving so often allowed her to become adept at immersing herself in different cultures while simultaneously observing them as the outsider. Her work grew from these lessons in the duality of attachment and detachment.

When asked about her work, she replies:

"My work explores the light, line, and texture of both inner and outer landscapes. It gives form to what I feel and sense; moments and memories both seen and unseen, near and far, past and present. It investigates the elusive: the space between moments, the sound of the unheard song.

I create two- and three-dimensional abstract works that unfold through a quiet, responsive dance with materials. The solitude and silence of my studio is reflected in work that expresses ideas distilled to their essence, devoid of decorative, superfluous elements.

I employ a variety of techniques and materials. I sew, draw, print, sculpt, and paint, and capture moments with my camera. I make marks with thread and perforations as well as with pencil, ink, and paint. I use gloss and matte surfaces, color, embossing, layering, and the raw and torn edges of fabric and paper to define space and form. I use real and implied references to stitching, quilting, weaving, and mending as metaphors for connecting the past with the present, the seen with the unseen."
