“Painting with a Camera”Karin grew up in Europe under the influence of her mother, a photographer and watercolor artist who taught her to see and capture the splendors of nature in photographic images.
“Through my photographs I hope to convey the serenity of a wooded area, the solitude of a New England barn, the steady run of a river; the ebb and flow of tides; calm seas and turbulence; rustling of autumn leaves; first snow on the meadow. But, I’m merely an interpreter of these splendors, Nature is the real artist.”
When not journeying through her beloved New England or to the spectacular American southwest to photograph the beauty and grace of the natural world, Karin teaches and exhibits. Her work can be viewed in area galleries, at art shows and fine art festivals and in private collections.
Her award winning photograph “Housatonic Autumn” was featured in an exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum, Stockbridge, Massachussets, August 13 – September 19, 2004.
Karin is married to Brad Smith, fine artist and photographer, who continues to guide and encourage her.
