The “Now” paintings began as a response to the existential crisis that has been consuming us all. Koenig structured her practice so each of the paintings is done in one session, which can stretch on for hours. Koenig uses these works to raise funds for different non profit organizations in Western New York. A portion of all sales from these works will benefit The Buffalo Center for Arts and Technology.
