Sitting serenely, a woman gazes out at the viewer. She wears a beautiful yellow gown trimmed with black bows and buttons and the skirt is patterned with curlicues. Beside her sits a vase of orange roses that are echoed in the motif on the red wall behind her. This lovely work of art with its vintage mood will enliven any space with its rich colours and sense of tranquility. It is painted around the sides and arrives ready to hang.

Biography Born in Toronto, Karen Rieger grew up in an artistic environment. Her mother Charlotte was always engaged in creative projects around the home and her father Theodor was a talented artist who received his classical training in Czechoslovakia. In Toronto he had a long and successful career as an art director, an illustrator and in his later years pursued his passion as a fine artist. Although surrounded by this creativity, Karen came late to her artistic pursuits. In her early twenties while studying English Literature at the University of Toronto, she found herself much happier doodling than writing essays. She went on to spend two years studying at “The Art Centre”- Central Technical School’s renowned post-secondary art program, before completing her art education at the Ontario College of Art. Since then she has shown widely in numerous galleries throughout North America Please see the C.V. below for a detailed list of exhibitions. Karen is currently represented by galleries in Canada and the United States. She continues to paint and reside in Toronto where she lives with her husband and fellow artist Chris Carbone
