She has since developed cityscapes celebrating landmarks such as the Capitol Theatre. Another recent series has focused on ballroom, ballet and tango dancers.<\/p>\n

Horne has been fortunate to receive numerous awards, including the 2013 Mayor\u2019s Visual Artist Award and the 2004 UAC Visual Arts Fellowship.\u00a0 She was named\u00a0 one of Utah\u2019s 100 Most Honored Artists and received a prize at the National Academy of Design\u2019s Annual Exhibition in NYC.<\/p>\n

\n Gallery Profile: Salt Lake City<\/strong>
\n Horne Fine Art<\/strong>
\n by Mark Dicosola<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

The new gallery and studio of Karen Horne offers Utah artists a concrete vision of an integrated artistic life. Karen Horne has managed to combine her life as painter with the need for studio and gallery space. Skylights in the studio offer natural light and after coming back to Utah from New York City, the studio\u2019s space is abundant and now offers room for figurative still-life exploration…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n The Utah Arts Council’s Fellowship Exhibition<\/strong>
\n Karen Horne, Steve Larson, Madison Smith, & Paul Stout at the Rio<\/strong>
\n by Kent Rigby<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rio Gallery at the Rio Grande Depot exists within a huge cavernous space. One might wonder how it could possibly be used as a successful gallery. However, the staff of the Utah Arts Council Visual Arts Program somehow manages to hang very successful fine art exhibits in the space. Glen Richards and Laura Durham have it down to a combination of science and aesthetics. \u201cIt\u2019s a little overwhelming, but the challenge is fun. I like that we can move the walls around and make each show look different. It keeps things fresh. I\u2019m warming up to the grandeur of the space after being used to the intimate and more controlled environment we had last year\u201d, reveals Laura Durham, Visual Arts Program Assistant…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n To Challenge and Delight: Karen Horne’s Roman Holiday<\/i><\/strong>
\n by Shawn Rossiter<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rome. Florence. Venice. These cities have been producing fabulous art for centuries. And for just as long they have been places of pilgrimage for artists, professional and amateurs alike. There may be more paintings and photographs of these three cities than of any other three in the world. Which, of course, means there are probably more hackneyed images of this tourist triumvirate than of any other in the world…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n Stalking the Night: <\/strong>Karen Horne’s Nocturnes<\/strong>
\n by Sue Martin | photos by Simon Blundell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karen Horne is an \u201cartist\u2019s artist\u201d if there is such a thing. She has taken all the lessons we try to absorb in the classroom or workshops \u2013 like color theory, simplification, gesture drawing, value and form, and the lush handling of paint \u2013 and demonstrates them in her paintings. Best of all, we can see and study her work right here in Salt Lake City at Horne Gallery, where her current body of work \u2013 The Color of Night \u2013 is on display through December 23 (and into January on a more limited schedule)…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
