About the Artist
Karen Philpott is an award-winning oil painter based in Fairhope, Alabama. A Tennessee native, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Middle Tennessee State University and enjoyed a successful career in graphic design before returning to her first love – painting.
A modern impressionist, Karen draws inspiration from coastal marshes, open farmland, rivers, and mountain landscapes. She often paints outdoors, capturing nature’s changing light and atmosphere, then uses those studies to create larger works in her studio.
Karen is a Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society, a member of Oil Painters of America and Plein Air Painters of the Southeast, and a past president of the Chestnut Group. Her honors include First Place at Plein Air Fairhope in 2024 and an Award of Excellence from the American Impressionist Society in 2021.
