Karin Turner is a fine artist painter who's discovered her purpose in life is to eminate & raise the static of JOY and self acceptance through positive african diasporic female imagery. KarinsArt features a semi-autobiographical character “H2oMelon Girl™” who boasts a crown of exotic natural hair, lives in the moment, and is happy with the curvaceous figure she possesses. In addition to the varied skin tones that reflect the diversity of her ethnic heritage,the ever present H2omelon imagery – is both a silent attempt to reclaim the watermelon & also a metaphor for Life. The h2omelon is an icon that urges the viewer to participate/own her Life. "It’s worthless if you just sit it on the shelf, never knowing all it has to offer: nourishment,historical truths,sweetness, as well as the not-so sweet things that happen in Life." Completed works also examine the combination of brown skin, watermelon, natural hair, voluptuous figures, and how aesthetically uplifting affectations influence women.
