About Karen Brownlee
 
Karen’s ties to the prairies of southern Alberta go back four generations to the 1880s. A strong influence on Karen’s interest in the historic, cultural landscape was oral storytelling. Both her mother and mother-in-law are and were family historians. They shared with her their family experience with the land, the hardships
and triumphs, and the amusing, entertaining recounts of everyday people trying to make a living off the land.

 full-time professional painter since 1980, Karen Brownlee’s paintings deal with the love of the land and the enthusiastic effort of the generational toil of many farm pioneer families, including her own. Her paintings speak of the relevance and symbolism of man’s historic relationship with the land. Karen lives and works in Lethbridge,

Alberta, where she paints and teaches. Her work has been shown in various exhibitions. Her first book, Alberta Remembers: Recalling Our Rural Roots, was published by Red Deer Press in 2005. The Sakura Tree, her second book, was released in Spring 2007.
