Man’s glory lies in common sense
Dictating us the grace

In the words of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur:

Man’s glory lies in common sense

ABOUT karen colville
   Karen Colville is an eco chic artiste',artistic and multi dimensional arts exploration design ethos to ethics evolving with  earth an  ecological consciousness,natural phenomena exploring natural images of the earth and space she upcycles her materials to be earth friendly as recycled art to encourage positive reuse in arts.
 using recycled, reclaimed, or natural materials whenever possible, personal accountability to the issues humanity faces in connection.
  “Eco Art” is a contemporary form of environmental art created by artists who are concerned about local and global environmental situations,
Art, Ecology, Education  as ethics, beauty and simplicity of nature art making to an aesthetic functional format with deeper meaning,evolving a medium into  ecohand coutoure art,deepen the connection between humanity and the natural world through understanding, compassion, and grass roots literally  in meaning action. Life Sustaining Civilization is of great importance and how we as a species interact and connect with materials creating art with value, this has a deeper meaning on a spiritual level and in consciousness to living in a healthier and non oe less toxic world and planet with ourselves and our actions.The development of consciousness in the individual is the goal of critically analyzing ourselves and the world around us.
Eco coutoure art is much more detailed and complex exploration than  a painting ,it' involves a variety of techniques, a creative natural connection of concept and nature appreciation.To expose the environmental problem as our own fault,  humanity was created with limited vision  at this present time evolving as a species with this planet while others are intentionally destroying it and  evolving on this journey together as one it is meant to improve our position in the eternal journey to ongoing a sweet perfection as the blooming of a flower, everything has a cycle and season and a dimensional aspect.
  Another way that eco art mixed media as textiles toward the natural reflect who I am and the changes going on,'inspiring change towards a green economy'.
"How we identify with a relation to the natural world is its unique environmental character an emergence of ideas and forms of (post)modern of an old medium  influenced originally from the coutoure houses of Paris and creating them in a higher fine art form , mixed media fiber art,glass beads,natural dyes into exquisite eco creations her work is evolving philosophy of using the  resources in a shift of consciousness as a choice in a contemporary expression.
Unlike  Artists that use mediums as plastic and oil that over time is harmful to the planet, some of the present day art materials impact on the environment and has researched hundreds of techniques, methods until a better direction found something that worked with values and untilizing highly developed art skills changed mediums to be more eco people and planet friendly.
   Please be careful of green movement propaganda, mainly the  elite"ethical oil "people in disguise and green washing, What I have done is expressed my love for humanity and planet and healing of this planet with creating this kind of art,
I'm not jumping on the bandwagon as the Elites and the Multinationals have went  green because it is hip trendy and cool to do and celebs are, saves them money and want to control all resources ,including humanity, alternatives and technologies have been intentionally suppressed for some time that benefit humanity. I'm not fooled or in service to them,I am creating natural,non toxic, planet friendly natural art for reasons of my own as an evolution with likeminded people grassroots, in a direction paradise futuristic planet for humanity,sovereignty, values in earth and exo consciousness and working with earth's energies and frequencies.


Karen's Mom in her lifetime,Bea was a French clothing costume designer and Painter in Oils. Karen has found the connection of her artistic talent and her culture on both sides of her family tree with having and defining her own values and skill set gifts, eco coutoure a fitting tribute to her Mom, whom passed of Cancer when Karen was in Art School.I have difficulty expressing my sentiments, in language, truths and heart felt creations are in my art.

Artist Statement: We continue to learn and expand in a different mediums of expression our experience as living in 3d. Art is a lifetime dedication of connecting community passion and finding support investment as a passion with charitable cause, with originality and unique style exploration life without art there is not life it is a celebration of visions and opposing forces of expression with a sense of freedom, escaping the boundaries of beauty into contemporary creativity resourceful and individual expression respecting diversity. This dimension or reality and world is a business is a controlled illusion this is why I enjoy exploring concepts of multi dimensions two and three layers of light and texture in my work with diverse influence of expression from interaction along with world culture. It goes beyond stepping outside the anticipated norm of the boundaries created it flows it layers and engages every participant with every experience coloring outside the lines and seeing what is there so to speak while developing intellectual concepts. Intricate layers of light and activity with mediums. Her work has a Mediterranean influence
Art is the vehicle of understanding that words do not articulate with description and creatively making sense of this Universe Post Modern Societies and the changes going on in present day reality. Creating art, my work is always mastery and experimentation one of a kind and with influences of my journey with others in this experience and around the world with a peaceful resolution. My natural handmade creations are also a reflection of my values of earth with experience.
