Photography Artist
Oct 01, 2014
In the early 1970’s through the mid-1980’s, Karen worked in the visual merchandising and graphic arts fields before beginning a career in social work. She has always found self-expression through the visual arts but it has been in the last five years, that photography, in particular, has become central in Karen’s life. While she is primarily self-taught, Karen takes workshops whenever she can and has studied with Serephina Landgrebe and Tony Stromberg among others. Karen can spend hours observing and relating to her subjects. Once she has a collection of photographs, she reviews and edits them using software such as Photoshop. Karen’s images are professionally printed with archival inks on photographic paper and wrapped canvas. Karen also has a large line of greeting cards and other products imprinted with her images. For the last several years, Karen has been selling her work online and through galleries, art & wine festivals, shops and coffee houses. She has also participated in juried shows at the Santa Cruz Art League and Triton Museum in Santa Clara, CA and will be participating in Open Studios in October, 2014. Source: |
