Karen Seapker’s Stirring at Plato explores winter as a season of renewal and preparation. Inspired by her garden and the present historical moment, her paintings swirl with colors reflecting winter’s quiet energy—misty blues, velvety pinks, and lantern-lit ambers. Circular and spiral forms evoke nature’s cycles of death and rebirth. Drawing from myth and history, Seapker aligns with figures who harness darkness for transformation, finding movement, warmth, and potential in winter’s stillness.
