More DescriptionAcclaimed Charleston painter, Karen Hewitt Hagan is the subject of a new art book titled "Karen Hewitt Hagan: An American Impressionist." Published by Morton Arts Media, this richly illustrated coffee table book showcases more than 60 recent oil paintings from Hagan's plein air painting excursions to the Abaco Islands, Italy and throughout the Southeastern U.S.'The introduction and book design was prepared by Michelle Morton, an arts writer and publicist for nationally and internationally known artists and creative director of Morton Arts Media.The book's pages chronicle Hagan's intrepid experiences as a professional artist and a liveaboard boater. Readers will get a glimpse into the unconventional life of this South Carolina painter as she lives and works with her husband and miniature pincher, Fang, aboard their 53-foot classic motor vessel. Many of the images in the book were painted in Hagan's art studio on the aft deck of their yacht, or completed at her easel en plein air (out-of-doors) on wind-swept Abaco beaches or atop the fabled hills of Tuscany. In the ?Artist's Notes? section, Hagan shares with readers intriguing anecdotes of her life as a professional artist who often paints and teaches in unusual and far flung locales. With the hand of an artist and the heart of a sea-going voyager, Hagan brings home the beauty and emotional awe of her travels through pages filled with evocative artworks, color-laden brushwork and vivid narratives.
