Karyn Denten is a fine art painter whose work spans the worlds of design and expressive art. Originally from the Midwest, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications before launching her career at a boutique agency in Newport Beach, CA.

After returning to Chicago, Karyn balanced her design career with her passion for painting. During this time, she created the Pink Horizons series, inspired by the landscape seen on her daily Metra commute. The horizon represents her belief that even amid the everyday grit and grind, it’s always worth pursuing a dream.

Her mission with her art is to inspire people to pursue their goals and dreams, and add a touch of beauty to their everyday lives.

Karyn has been exhibiting her art at galleries, art shows and through Minted and West Elm. Her work has also been featured in Real Simple.

Karyn is a mom of two artists — a photographer and an illustrator. She currently lives outside of Chicago with her husband and her son’s rescue dog, Kai.
