PAINTINGS
Karen paints with bright colors depicting imaginative memories and life experiences. Watercolors and acrylics are her favorite because of the spontaneity that results in fresh and vibrant colors. The real challenge of painting is knowing when to stop!

MIXED MEDIA
As a child, Karen drew on everything imaginable until her parents supplied her with a box of crayons and paper but that didn't deter her from experimenting with alternative surfaces for artistic expression.

BOOKS
Karen loves sharing her passion for art with others and teaching has always been an element of her creative life.  She is the author of several paper craft instruction books and has contributed to numerous art magazines and craft publications.

PAPER CRAFTS
The passion for paper crafting started many years ago while Karen worked at an art supply store in California. She was intrigued by the beautiful textures, colors and patterns that paper offered and an addiction was born!

FUN STUFF
Over the years, Karen has experimented with various mediums from shrink plastic to recycled materials. One of her favorite things to do is fold paper, and it all started with a gum wrapper chain.
