Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed. Visual artist Karey Walter uses photography, beeswax, oil pastels, acrylic paint, various gel mediums and varnishes in her abstract works on canvas. Her method of image transfer is by using a silicone foundation that allows the photographic image dyes to transfer into the silicone, giving a fluid three-dimensional foundation.

She has a sensitive vision of her surroundings and an appreciation of various cultures. Her works have been displayed throughout the Southeast and are included in numerous private collections.
