Karen Friedland, artist, teacher, community organizer, is the driving force behind the creation of the Flatbush Artists Studio Tour (FAST). Friedland’s work in a variety of media – acrylic, oil, pastel, watercolor, printmaking and collage – speaks a singular language, that of COLOR. The vibrancy and depth of color excites the eye and delights the soul. Her imagery of far away lands takes you on an imaginary journey, drawing you in, sending your spirits soaring. Her extensive Chair Series brings you home to interiors that leave you longing to be there. The realism of Friedland’s people & animals resides alongside their verve, quirkiness and joie de vivre.

As a special tribute to Brooklyn, Friedland's adopted home, she includes a hidden image of the Brooklyn Bridge in each of her works. It can be a real challenge to find, sometimes, even for the artist herself!

Friedland is a master of color and design, always seeking new and greater challenges in her artwork. She has exhibited her work in solo and group shows across the country and has received numerous awards.

She is an active member of Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition (BWAC) also.

Last year, Friedland and co-leader, Brenda Becker, reached out to Flatbush artists to create FAST. Through hard work, perseverance and the help of other artists, in particular, Zane Treimanis, Kris Waldherr and Bruce Zeines, we have created this exciting event for the second year.

In addition to paintings, prints and collages, Friedland will be showcasing notecards and unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry.
