Karin Vollkommer. Paintings and other works

Karin Vollkommer started painting in 1976.  Her specialty was old barns and farms in the upstate New York area.  Her painting “1880 Billboards” was chosen for the 1978 Regional Art Show and was exhibited at the Alban Institute of History and Art.  In the 1980’s Karin’s career turned to the graphic scene.  Her design work was featured at the Museum of American Folk Art in NYC, the shops of JC Penny, Disney World, and the Strubridge Village Catalog to name a few.  By 1990 Karin soldher commercial decorative line and returned back fine art scene.  Karin decided to focus on Saratoga Springs.  For 34 years the artist painted many of the historic icons that Saratoga is so known for.  The artist’s paintings are easily recognized with a unique Victorian style from a bygone era.

A note from the artist: 

“Many years ago, I promised myself that someday I would return to painting the beautiful old farms and barns that I love so much.  Please enjoy my interpretations of these vanishing icons from our farming communities.  Thank you to the Cambridge Valley Artisans Market for allowing me to share my bucket list”

Sincerely, Karin Vollkommer
