Karen Powell Biography

Graphic designer by day, fine artist by night...that’s how you would describe the creative journey of Karen Powell.  Powell’s training began at Fisk University then onto Masters work at the University of Chicago.  For 33 years Powell has been known for her corporate design style in the Boston business community.  Now we get to see the other side of Powell as she ventures into the arena that she loves and has been passionate about all her life... the fine arts.

Growing up in an urban environment has made Powell reflect on her childhood in her work. She says, "In New York the streets were our playground.  Whether it was playing 'jacks', 'potsie, or 'double dutch' it was competitive and street games were a vital part of our childhood development”.  Children had to be clever and creative to entertain themselves. The elements were simple: bottle caps, a soft ball, chalk, and jump ropes, these were the ingredients that made childhood magical in the city. Weaving those memories and vintage photos into her work, brings her back to a time when life was simple and children giggled on the front stoop.
