This signed 9½-inch Kareka enamel-on-copper art plate showcases the distinctive mid-century abstract style of Cape Cod artist Kareka (Hyannis, MA). Her work is increasingly sought-after for its bold, mosaic-like enamel technique and individually crafted, one-of-a-kind designs.
This piece features deep oceanic blues, shimmering metallic accents, and Kareka’s characteristic radial patterning, creating a striking centerpiece suitable for wall display, shelf styling, or collection expansion.
