BIOGRAPHY

Karin Batten was born in Hamburg, Germany and studied painting and sculpture at Central Saint Martins College, London, England with a BFA. She received her MFA from Hunter College (CUNY), New York City. From 1974 to 1986 she taught drawing and design at Parsons School of Design in NYC. In her most recent work Karin’s luminous abstract improvisations of color, texture and form reflect her life-long fascination with the natural world. Her process parallels her inspiration, she describes it as “organic, spontaneous and intuitive like swimming in a vast sea”

Residing at Westbeth the artist housing community in New York City, she was the Westbeth Gallery Director and curator from 2016-2019. Batten has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions in the United States and Europe.
