She is a self-described Colorist of the Carolinas. In Highlands, NC, her work may be seen at John Collette Gallery . She is also showing art at Premieres Gallery of Pawley’s Island, SC, Watson Gallery in Atlanta, GA, The Haen Gallery, Asheville, NC, Lava blue Gallery, Abingdon, VA.  Karen will also be participating in a two woman show at www.thehaengallery.com in April of 2008. Karen says, “The colors and spirit of Charleston make me feel alive and energized when arriving home, and the mountains inspire serenity to live and create.”
