Talented photographic artists can be found nearly everywhere today. However, once in a great while one stands out above the rest. There is something truly artistic about their work that captures not only a photograph, but the very essence of the moment. They stop time and make the viewer not only see the image, but experience it with all of the senses. Karen Glosser is one of those fine art, photographic artists with ability beyond others. She uses many in-camera techniques for creating painterly and unique images that speak to the soul.
In Karen's own words she "took a roundabout path" to finding her love of photography. Owning a fashion accessory business, Karen often took photographs of the things that inspired her jewelry creations and posted them to her social media. Soon enough people were inquiring about buying her photographs and Karen found her passion. She taught herself how to use a proper camera and the rest, as they say, is history.
Karen's portfolio contains images from her travels about the world however, her primary inspiration is right here around her home. The forests, waterways and nature that abounds in Chautauqua County are the majority of her images. An ambassador for Blue Mind, Karen firmly believes in the motto: "Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do."
Although Karen has created photographs all over the globe, she and her husband Roy make their home near Chautauqua, New York. She has passed on her love of photography to her son, Cam who is also a photographer living in the Southwest, United States.
Many of Karen's photographs are available at The Portage Hill Gallery all year long. Karen herself will be at the gallery with a vast display of her work for the Art Trail event over Labor Day Weekend, September 3rd and 4th, 2022.
