Karin Olah is a contemporary artist in Charleston, South Carolina. She combines hand-dyed fabric and paint to create her signature multi-layered paintings.[1] Olah is known in the American South for her fabric collages which mimic elements of the natural world.[2] Her imagery is informed by quilt-making as well as the light patterns and colors of coastal landscapes.[3]
