Question 1

Who is Karen Bezuidenhout?

Accepted Answer

Karen Bezuidenhout is a Santa Barbara-based, South African-born artist featured in Stick & Ball's curated art collection. Raised on a farm in Stellenbosch, South Africa, her passion for painting was sparked in 1996 after attending a local art exhibition, which led her to train at Pieter Vermaak's art school, housed in an old wine cellar. In 2000, she moved with her family to Santa Barbara, where she met influential painter Bill Woolway, and her work is now collected in homes across the United States and worldwide.

Question 2

What inspires her work?

Accepted Answer

Karen's work is shaped by her global travels and a lifelong love of horses — she has ridden on horseback across the Namib Desert, the mountains of Patagonia and Italy, and the ancient landscapes of Spain and South Africa. In her own words, she paints from the heart and follows her brush, describing her paintings as tapestries of her life and imagination.

Question 3

What is her artistic style?

Accepted Answer

Karen paints intuitively, and her work has been described as "primitive yet sophisticated" and "peaceful, healing and medicinal." Her pieces — mainly in acrylic and oil stick — are created in her rustic outdoor studio, surrounded by dogs and music.

Question 4

Where else can I see her work?

Accepted Answer

Karen's paintings are represented by galleries including Upstairs at Pierre Lafond in Montecito, Wilde Meyer Gallery in Scottsdale, Cercana in Ojai, Casa Mexicana Imports in Westlake Village, Twenty Two Home in Jackson Hole, and Fleurs in Hermanus, South Africa. Stick & Ball is proud to offer a curated selection of her equestrian-inspired works.

Question 5

Are these paintings original works of art?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind original — primarily acrylic or oil stick on canvas — not a print or reproduction.

Question 6

What are the dimensions of Horses and Trees?

Accepted Answer

Horses and Trees measures 48 inches wide by 48 inches tall — the largest Karen Bezuidenhout work available through Stick & Ball. Acrylic on canvas. Framing is not included.

Question 7

What subjects does she paint?

Accepted Answer

Her portfolio spans horses, sea, land and sky, figures, and African themes. The Stick & Ball collection focuses on her equestrian works, which align naturally with our brand's celebration of the horse.
