Welcome to Mary Karavos Fine Art

                   A World in Paper Collage


   Stepping back to take in the entirety of the work you realize that the image you see is the result of hundreds, perhaps thousands of  delicately layered pieces of torn paper placed purposefully on the canvas.  It is easy to believe that there is magic at work here. 



Mary Karavos is a Collage Fiber Artist who transforms handmade imported paper into masterful works of fine art.


‘Soulful’, ‘Enduring’, ‘Inspirational’ - are words that have been used to describe Mary’s original representational and abstract art.  Her stunning portfolio is the result of over 15 years of experience creating and exhibiting her work. 


People are always a little surprised when they discover that there is no paint used on Mary’s canvases.  Her work is a rich interplay of texture and colour achievable with the patient layering of  hand torn paper that she carefully selects.


   

All inquires are welcome.

Please contact Mary Karavos to discuss commissioned work and limited edition giclee reproductions.
