Karen says that she originally started painting to
entertain herself; a pleasant diversion after 30 plus
years of social work. Now, as she makes her creations
available to the public, it is her hope that people will
enjoy her art, while maybe finding a social or political
message worth considering or even embracing.
As a self-taught artist she sees her work as highly
accessible. For some it will be the colors that compel
the eye to look more deeply. For others the intricate
designs or detailed narrative will be the reason to
look further.

Part of her creative process is to
locate discarded items. Whether
she finds the item at a garage sale,
thrift store or abandoned in the
street she knows that every piece
has a story. Her challenge is to
rework these items to have a new
tale, often with a written message
and a piece of her own
interpretation of the past, present
and future.
Karen accepts commissions.
All inquiries are welcome.
