Karin Aggeler

Artamo Gallery, Santa Barbara

ARTAMO GALLERY is delighted to present artist Karin Aggeler's work in her first solo exhibit in Santa Barbara, where she resides for over four decades now. "Colors of Mood" is part of a series of exhibitions this year, which will present, promote and support a selection of the best artists in our local area who paint in abstract and semi-abstract styles.

Karin Aggeler came to Santa Barbara from Munich, Germany in 1963. Since then she has participated in the Santa Barbara art community as a career potter and sold ceramics to shops and galleries throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. She has received numerous awards for her works in juried shows. For fourteen years, Karin was the Arts and Crafts Coordinator and Ceramics Teacher at the Braille Institute, where she continues to teach weekly classes.

Before beginning her career in pottery, Karin's first love was drawing and painting. Since 2000 she has returned to the canvas, now dividing her time between creating new works in clay and enjoying a focus on an alternate medium, painting with acrylics.

Karin's work is inspired by her memories, as well as landscapes and vistas. Rather than simply capture her own feelings on canvas, she aspires to create a piece of work that is open and abstract enough to embrace the experiences and visions of the viewer, and can change as the mood of the viewer changes. She says, "My hope is to create work that avoids a static position on the wall and instead joins the viewer in a dynamic, continuous conversation."
