Karen Antos is a
"quilt-maker turned painter." Where she once used fabric and rulers to
create geometric designs, she now employs brightly colored, thick oil
paint to produce impressionistic landscapes, cityscapes, and abstracts.
With quilting as the medium, it was at
her grandmother’s knee that Karen first began expressing her artistic
talent as a child. She acquired extensive experience with the
manipulation of pattern, texture, and color to achieve her vision.
Today, Karen exhibits annually at
juried fairs in Texas, Oklahama, and Louisiana. She has been the
recipient of 14 painting awards and has shown her work in a variety of
group and solo exhibitions. As a significant part of her business has
become commission painting for private and commercial clients, she is
exclusively represented by Rutherfords in Dallas. Karen also owns and
operates Texas T-Shirt
Quilts with
her daughter, Becky.
