Coffee Paintings
Tulsa artist Karen Eland doesn't just drink her coffee - she paints with it
Coffee art is a truly unique art form. It requires a thoughtful and delicate touch. Capturing the depth of these classic works is only possible through a slow and sophisticated process of building layer upon layer of espresso.
Artist Karen Eland's version of classic masterpieces include works by Matisse and Picasso, Whistler’s Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother, more commonly known as “Whistler’s Mother,” and the Sistine Chapel scene with God and Adam by Michelangelo.
Eland learned the art of espresso itself by becoming a barista, though art is now her full-time job. Painting in coffee is a refreshing break from Karen’s work in oils, watercolor, and pencil.
Preferring espresso "straight from the machine," she sometimes lets it sit out for several days to get the darker tones she sometimes needs. Her coffee of choice? Caffe Vita from Seattle.
