Kara McIntosh is a multi-disciplinary Canadian contemporary artist working in oil paint, watercolour and hand-hooked textiles. Inspired by the landscape, her practice explores the shifting and robust space between abstraction and realism. Through gestural mark making, use of bold colour and richly textured surfaces, McIntosh creates dynamic compositions that reflect an intuitive engagement with the natural world and a deep curiosity about the relationship between self and place.

McIntosh lives near Nottawa, ON. Her work can be found in many private and corporate collections in Canada, the US, Europe and Australia.
