Artist Statement
Karen Divine was first introduced to photography in the early 1970’s and went on to study painting, drawing, and alternative photographic processes. While she finds that creating a beautiful single image is crucial to being a fine-art photographer, it is the multi-image that speaks to her heart. She has won numerous awards from international organizations, including the 2011 Discovery of the Year Nominee from International Photography Awards, the Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers, the Prix de la Photographie Gold Award, and a first place WPGA Pollux Award, her work has been in galleries around the world and recently presented at L’Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art, (Paris). Process Statement
I composite in two different ways, either beginning with a single image or beginning with a solid background and building the image from there. Both combine seemingly random images which evolve into their own unique expression.
