Clayton Galleries will celebrate its 30^th Anniversary Year featuring paintings by Tampa Artist Karen Tucker Kuykendall in an exhibition titled “ …and Tales of Great Adventure.”

In describing her work, Kuykendall says “My paintings are cluttered and busy and frantic and loud. I interweave images like plots and subplots in novels so that layers of images, symbolism, spatial planes, color and pattern work together to create tension and harmony…with a little humor.”

She received her M.A. Degree from the University of South Florida and her B.A. FineArts from Florida State University. Kuykendall’s work can be found in the public collections of The Tampa Museum of Art, The Polk Museum of Art, Lakeland, Florida, Rollins College, Winter Park Florida, TECO, Tampa, Florida, Capitol Building, House of Representatives, Tallahassee, Florida, and Florida Department of Natural Resources, Marjory Stoneman Douglas Building, Tallahassee, Florida.
