The Gallery at Dover Station presents photorealistic oil paintings by Maryland artist Karen Merkin
EASTON, MD — The Gallery at Dover Station is pleased to present Everyday, Extraordinary: Paintings by Karen Merkin, on exhibit September 1 through October 21, 2026. A public reception with the artist will be held Tuesday, September 8, from 4–6 p.m.
Merkin’s photorealistic oil paintings invite viewers to slow down and look more closely at the familiar. Through extraordinary attention to light, texture, reflection and detail, she transforms everyday objects and scenes into captivating works of art.
Her subjects include still lifes, seascapes and landscapes, with classic automobiles among her favorite subjects. She particularly enjoys capturing reflections of the surrounding environment in polished chrome and glass, creating paintings that are both technically precise and visually immersive.
