“Transitions” describes the movement of Kary’s work from textiles to paper, to painted/digital photographs, alcohol inks, eggshell art, eco prints, and beeswax collage.
Creating has been a life long passion for Kary. Although, she seriously began channeling her creative energy into weaving design in 1988. After weaving for 20 plus years, she began to branch out to into other mediums.
Nature is often the subject of Kary’s photographic work, because like fiber, it is full of color, pattern and texture. “When something catches my eye, in the moment, I literally let my consciousness fall away and allow myself into what I want to capture with my lens.”
She views all her work as alchemy, because it transforms the ordinary into the sublime, a seemingly magical power of the process of transmutation.
Her work consists of untouched digital photographs, enhanced photography, polaroid transfers/hand painted photography, eco printing, alcohol inks, eggshell art and beeswax collage.
Kary has resided in the Hudson Valley since 1976. Her professional education in nursing, psychology, Ericksonian Hypnosis, coaching and nutrition evolved into a private practice in 1996. Focusing on mind/body integration, stress management and hypnocoaching as a holistic/functional medicine, nurse consultant.
