Kari Lagon (b. Manila, Philippines) is a Canadian visual artist based in Calgary, Alberta. Inspired by nature, expansive skies, and wide-open spaces, she creates abstract landscapes that explore the interplay of light and shadow. Her paintings capture the ever-changing moods of the natural world—turbulent storms, quiet dawns, and radiant horizons—transforming these elements into visual narratives of resilience, hope, and the strength of the human spirit.

Influenced by J.M.W. Turner, her work is characterized by bold contrasts, fluid compositions, and dynamic brushwork. By interpreting the vast beauty of nature, Lagon creates works that evoke emotion and introspection. Her paintings serve as reminders of endurance, transformation, and the quiet strength found in life’s shifting landscapes.
