Artist Spotlight: Karen Hackenberg

A series of paintings of objects floating in the air by Seattle-based artist Karen Hackenberg. Taking a light-hearted yet subversive approach to the degradation of our oceans, Hackenberg’s work often depicts images of beach trash and man-made detritus. See more images from “The Floating World” below or in her new book, available here!

Each week our members share their work with us and we highlight the best of these submissions as Editors’ Picks. If you have work to share, you can learn more about becoming a member.
