Karen Daigle is a Canadian representational artist whose vibrant, modern impressionist paintings breathe life into the everyday. She captures the poetry of light, movement, and beauty in things often overlooked—lush florals, vintage treasures, and sun-kissed fruits.

Working from her cozy home studio in New Brunswick, she paints Alla Prima—working quickly and decisively in a single sitting—to preserve spontaneity and energy in her work. Her style is fresh yet nostalgic, blending old-world charm with a contemporary eye for colour and atmosphere.

“I find beauty in flowers, fruits and the structure of everyday objects. I love antiques and I love design so I was naturally pulled towards still life painting. I focus on painting the light, tones, colour and edges. I always paint from life.

For me, it’s about reproducing the reality that inspires me without duplicating the set up exactly as seen. I love loose, bold brushstrokes and quite often work with a palette knife to build texture in the paint. Creating movement with design and an atmosphere you can feel is my goal in every painting.”

Karen’s luminous paintings have earned her recognition in juried exhibitions around the world and are held in private collections across North America, Europe, and beyond.
