Multiple award winner and Houston based artist Karen Landrigan announced today that her painting titled “Persevering” has been chosen by juror to be included in the International Society of Acrylic Painters (ISAP) 9th Online exhibition. The ISAP competitions draw entries from around the world. This year entries included USA, Canada, Belgium, UK, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel, South Africa, Denmark, Mexico.
The juror, wildlife painter Jan Martin McGuire’s commented “I was really blown away by the entries for this show. What an incredible amount of talent–and such an inspiring amount of different styles and techniques using acrylic paint.”
Landrigan has had constant recognition from international art societies and has won numerous awards since turning professional in 2013. Landrigan’s artist note for ‘Persevering’ sums up the feeling her painting creates—“When the challenges come and they will, as we wade deeper into our lives and confront the forces of defeat, there comes a moment when our spirit rallies and we push back with everything we have. I push back, l shoulder the weight of my struggle with few regrets and I am not afraid. And beneath a smile, knowing that I lived my life with joy and resilience, I persevere.”
Landrigan is known for her powerful and emotional acrylic paintings, whimsical drawings and handmade sterling silver jewelry.
