xtraordinary experiences of her
everyday life are the driving force
that makes Karen Boylan’s paintings
what they are today. Because her experience
as a rancher fuels her passion and creates
the inspiration that goes into her creations,
collectors have come to appreciate the insight
and intimate knowledge she has for her
subjects. Years of ranching, countless hours in
the saddle and working with cattle have all
been invaluable in creating the energy, strength
and beauty that is present in the detailed
paintings that people have come to recognize.
Boylan describes her art as a passion. She
constantly finds herself drifting away from the
reality of life and concentrating on how light
affects objects, the contrasts in colors and the
infinite detail of everything from grass, rocks
and leaves to the vastness of the landscapes
around her. “It’s really an obsession,” Boylan
adds. She has always had a fascination with
nature and animals: their shapes, colors,
textures and, most of all, their beauty. Her
attention to detail is apparent in each piece
she creates.
Boylan continues ranching today, drawinginspiration from the beautiful surroundings in
which she lives in the Gallatin Valley outside of
Bozeman, Montana. Her paintings are available
