Karen Sako

Combining traditional art principles with exploratory techniques and materials, Karen Sako tackles the uncharted footpaths of contemporary art making. When she isn’t in her studio creating large abstract paintings she can be found on the side of a deserted road in the wilds of rural Wisconsin plein air painting.

Observing from life outdoors helps ignite her imagination in the studio. She brings that same enthusiasm and optimism to the classroom, where she continually invests her time and shares her trade secrets and findings with her students. Her goal is to ignite the next generation of pioneering creative visionaries and thinkers.

Karen holds a BFA in Visual Communications from the Illinois Institute of Art and is an accomplished abstract artist, graphic designer, and instructor.
