Karson Brown grew up on the water in the Pacific Northwest in a counterculture of artistry, surrounded by a family of writers, painters, poets, and musicians. She is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in bespoke painting, photography, beach sculptures, and writing.

Her history with creativity is raw, and organic, primarily through osmosis. Her great uncle, the Canadian painter Tom Thomson’s paintings graced the walls of her ancestral home. His brushstrokes on canvas are a continual inspiration in her artistic life. She grew up at the base of her grandmother Arlene’s easel, hours spent in her linseed oil-scented studio along the shores of Lake Washington heavily influenced her relationship with color and design. Her most treasured possession is an oil painting of sailboats her grandmother and she collaborated on when she was four. When she closes her eyes, gramma’s paint brushes soaking in turpentine remain the perfume of her mind.

Her creative endeavors are a vibrant tapestry woven from the influences of several iconic artists. In her photography, she channels the bold and innovative spirit of Andy Warhol, capturing the essence of modern life with a playful, pop art twist. Her beach sculptures draw inspiration from the ephemeral beauty found in Andy Goldsworthy and Georgia O'Keeffe's work, as she crafts organic pieces that celebrate the ever-changing relationship between nature and art. Her painting method is influenced by abstract painter Helen Frankenthaler, embracing her pioneering techniques in color field painting to explore fluidity, emotion, and the abstract interplay of hues on canvas. In writing, she’s discovered a kinship with Beryl Markham, an avid adventurer, who penned the thrilling memoir, West with the Night, whose prose she aspires to emulate in her writing. Through these diverse mediums, she strives to create a dynamic and cohesive body of work that serves as the intersection between the natural world and contemporary art.

Throughout the years she has displayed her various artistic mediums in Galleries and Boutiques around the Pacific Northwest. Stay tuned for new announcements, and upcoming shows.
