A Conversation With Karen Turner

In Episode 74 of Art Talk, I have a conversation with Karen Turner. Karen is an award-winning figure and portrait artist whose oil paintings are a commentary on the weight of expectations.  Focusing on the physical body and the scrutiny to which it is commonly subjected, her paintings explore what society expects of a woman, the ways in which a woman’s shape is often considered to define her, and the impact that this has on her life and sense of self.
