Karen Numme is a Photographer based in Los Angeles and creating images everywhere.
I was born in the Bronx. After living on the east coast in NY, Boston, and Washington DC, I moved to Los Angeles. I’ve always been a visual artist and have earned a Landscape Architecture degree from Harvard University, a Master of Architecture degree from the University of New Mexico, and a degree in Art from Parsons School of Design/NYU.
My experience in the fields of architecture, landscape, and art have had a significant influence on how I view my environment. My earlier artworks — mono-chromatic collages made of metal, plexiglass and spray paint drawings using words exploring light and particles in space — have been shown in Museums and Galleries throughout the US.
In recent years, my medium of choice has organically transitioned to photography. Using the iPhone, I continue to explore light and space, and memories, creating environments using reflections and composites. I want the viewer to step into my worlds, which promote feelings of uncertainty, disorder, and excitement, and create their own story.
