SUMMARY
​
Growing up on a flower farm in Northeast New Jersey, Elizabeth Hautau Karp’s paintings are an expression of gratitude and appreciation for her ancestors. Working in either gouache or oil paint, layers are built in varied colors, shapes, and textures to mimic an unattended garden or a field of wildflowers that magically grew without witness. The dark indigo background symbolizes dreamy summer nights and illuminated visions of nature brimming with magic, innocence, and imagination.
