 the essence of a flower bouquet. A live floral bouquet to copy and photogr

 ng></p>\n<p><em>The Art Builds Community Program Series is made possible t
 hrough the generosity and funding of the Rath Creative Arts Fund of the Be
 xley Community Foundation.</em></p>\n<p><strong>Kara Razek</strong> is a B
 exley-based artist originally from Kansas City\, Kansas\, who moved to Col
 umbus\, Ohio in 1987 to attend the Columbus College of Art &amp\; Design (
 CCAD). She graduated with a Master of File Ans (MPA) in 1992. Kara's appro
 ach to painting is primarily alla prima-working quickly and intuitively\, 
 with no rigid routine. Her work is rooted in realism\, but she embraces ex
 perimentation and the freedom to explore new techniques. As a member of a 
 vibrant group of plein-air artists (Central Ohio Plein-Air and Ohio Plein 
 Air Society) Kara enjoys painting in the city and local parks\, sharing bo
 th the successes and challenges of the process. Together\, they celebrate 
 the diversity of their interpretations\, each artist capturing the essence
  of a scene in their own unique way. Recently\, Kara has expanded her prac
 tice to include still-lite painting\, focusing on florals and fruit. This 
 shift allows her to explore the nuances of oil painting without the constr
 aints of changing light in the outdoor environment. Working in the studio\
 , where she can control lighting for extended periods\, has given her a de
 eper understanding of the medium and allows for a more relined approach to
  color and form. Kara's work continues to evolve as she seeks to balance t
 he immediacy of plein-air painting with the focused study of still life\, 
 always driven by a deep curiosity\, love of learning and a passion for cap
 turing the world around her.</p>\n<p>Kara's artwork is on display in Bexle
 y Public Library's lobby from March 6th through April 29th.</p>\n<p></p>\n
