Karen Ann Patton

Karen Ann Patton is an award-winning artist originally from New York, who now resides in Ormond Beach, Florida. Patton's oils, pastels, and watercolors are filled with vivid colors, usually reflecting images from the area in which she lives and works.

Laura Stewart, former Art Critic of the News Journal, wrote “Patton's landscapes are natural vistas, colored brilliantly with her expressive inner vision but still easily recognizable in every detail.”

Malcolm Preston, former Art Critic for Newsday wrote, “Patton's large watercolor sheets, all strong in color, shimmer with an awareness of light. Patton's method embraces the use of very wet washes of color, beautifully controlled. Her papers have a lovely transparency about them and the fluidity of the backgrounds is nicely offset by the crisply resolved shapes of the flowers and leaves.” She has studied with many well-known teachers, including Edgar A. Whitney, ANA, AWS, and Wolf Kahn in New York City.

Her painting 'Celestial Garden' was published in North Light's book “The Best of Flower Painting” in 1997 and in the Landmark Calendar of 1993 “Florals by Karen Ann Patton.” In 2012, her pastel painting “Tranquility” was selected for publication in Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company's book, “Oncology on Canvas.”

Her work is internationally collected, and her paintings can be found in various hospitals and corporations, including Winthrop University Hospital in New York, Florida Hospital Memorial Cancer Institute in Daytona Beach, Florida, the Baptist Medical Center South in Jacksonville, Florida, the Olympus Corporation, the American Automobile Association, and Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals.

She is a member of the Art League of Daytona Beach, Florida, The Ormond Memorial Art Museum, Ormond Beach, Florida, and “Who's Who in American Art.” She is also a past member of the National Association of Women Artists.
