Karen R. Ryder is an artist in Osterville, MA. Her landscape oil paintings are characterized by highly textured, energetic strokes painted outdoors with knives, while her watercolors capture scenes with lively energy. Her studio and figurative paintings reflect a similar impressionistic style, but often employ additional techniques and materials.
