Montana artist Kara Tripp traded-in her brushes for a palette knife and hasn’t looked back! Her palette knife technique adds a contemporary twist to traditional subjects, including local wildlife and landscapes. Her work is recognizable by the unique markings created in the oil paint, often resembling a mosaic or collage when viewed up-close.

In 2014, Kara was chosen as the Sweet Pea poster artist, and has won Best in Show at the Sweet Pea art show for 2013, ’14, and ’15.
Kara is the owner and artist at TRIPP Studio gallery in the Emerson Cultural Center in Bozeman, MT.
