A hidden chapter of joy, the watercolor paintings Gene and Karen made at home together, now shared with the world.
When the cameras stopped rolling, Gene picked up a brush. At home with Karen, he created bright bursts of watercolor, serene landscapes, portraits filled with story, little daily moments turned tender. Karen painted too, and together they built a shared body of work that lived for years only within the walls of their studio.
For most of Gene’s life, this work was private. Now, the Wilder Palette shares it with the world, and a portion of every print supports the causes Gene and Karen held dear.
Photographer Beowulf Sheehan, whose subjects include Toni Morrison, Bono, and Yoko Ono, came to Gene and Karen’s home and photographed their paintings in a single visit. Each print in this series is a limited edition of 100.
