Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader
Kareen Hague is an experimental fine artist who works out of her home studio in Markham, ON. Kareen’s art captures the essence of realism with an impressionistic touch. She covers her canvas with paper and mediums, creating an unexpected textural surface to capture the many layers of colour. Primarily self-taught, Kareen uses both traditional and non-traditional mark-making tools to develop the background and layer in the details. Kareen draws inspiration from the graceful lines of birch trees, our many lakes, the charm of field flowers, and the vastness of roadside landscapes. Each piece invites the viewer to explore our world through a lens of imagination, to ignite emotion and spark connections to the beauty that surrounds us. Kareen is a Member of the Toronto Artists’ Network Board of Directors and part of the executive team as Treasurer. She participates in many outdoor art shows each season. Her work is featured in various group shows each year and is represented in collections in Canada, the USA, and France.Website: artofabstraction.ca

Yes—most events require registration to reserve your spot. Free demos with limited space can fill up quickly, so we recommend signing up early.
What’s included in a paid vs free event?
Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.
Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.
Will I get a recording if I miss an online event?
No. These demos are live-only. If recorded, the footage is gifted to the artist and not shared publicly.
Can I attend an online event if I don’t live in BC?
Yes! Our online events are open to artists across Canada and beyond.
Where are events held?
We host events both in-store at select Opus locations and online via Zoom or other platforms. The location and format will always be clearly stated.

Check your junk or spam folders first. If you’re still unsure, email Pamela Mark at pmark@opusartsupplies.com to confirm your registration.
What’s the difference between free and paid events?
Free events are short, demo-based sessions led by professional artists—great for inspiration and learning.
Paid events offer deeper, hands-on instruction with more time, materials, or exclusive access. They’re ideal for artists looking to grow their skills.
Some paid events are free or discounted for Artist and Creative Tier Members.
