May Artist

Kara Hunt

Kara is a New Hampshire based, self-taught artist who began the process of learning how to paint just before the pandemic shut the country down. It was a stroke of luck that she was able to devote more time to painting when so much was suddenly inaccessible. She had wanted for years prior, never finding the time-but as it turns out the timing was perfect. Kara’s preferred mediums thus far are acrylic, oil pastel, watercolor and mixed media. Her preferred subjects are florals, and especially, portraits of the feminine. She works intuitively and emotionally. With the exception of commissions, each piece is unplanned and allowed to form organically as she works. For Kara, painting has become her favorite form of expression, her path for processing of all kinds of emotions, and her most effective self-care.
