Let's make something beautiful...

I love what I do! I consider myself very blessed to have the ability to take a blank canvas, a piece of paper, or a digital drawing board and create a tangible, visual and physical expression of life and personality on canvas or print.

My name is Karlana Pederden. I am a mixed-media artist and digital art illustrator.

So what does it mean to be a "mixed-media artist?" In my case, it means I have training in several visual art disciplines. I attended The School of The Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC Alumni), where I studied art illustration and oil and acrylic painting and design. I am also a self-taught professional fashion and portrait photographer with a successful career working in both the Chicago and Minneapolis commercial markets.

Since the COVID pandemic, I have focused more of my energy on creating original hand-painted artwork from several different media types; abstract painting, commercial digital illustrations, as well as my photography. Utilizing my photography experience to create my art reference photos for fine art portraits has remained an invaluable asset for my clients.

As a result of my experience, I see art as multi-dimensional. I often include design aspects in my artwork. My designs may consist of blending and mixing various additives into my paint to create artwork that will make each piece unique to its owner. I like to incorporate things that mean the most to my clients when they come to me on a project. I enjoy getting to know who my clients are, what they are looking for, and why they chose me to create their artwork. It's a process that requires detailed notes and organization. I take notes on what my client and discuss. I also do my best to record my client and their personality and incorporate their individuality into my artwork.

Creating a visual story is what I love to do for my clients. It's a collaborative effort to take a small piece of someone's life, personality, or experience and tell their story visually. I listen, learn, and through our conversations together, I uncover what is at the heart of my client's request.

I will use color and texture to tell your story. Sometimes, it's singular and minimal; other times, it's complex and dimensional. Always unique to each person. Everyone has a story. Let me help you tell yours.
