About the Artist:
For Karen, a years-long interest in quilting and needlework has evolved into a passion for pieced fabric landscapes and hand painted fabrics. Primarily a self-taught artist, Karen holds a Bachelor's Degree in History from Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa. She is a native of Crete, Nebraska and now lives on an acreage near Shelton, Nebraska. Much of the inspiration for her work comes from the sunsets seen from the front deck of the home she shares with her husband, Bill. They have two adult children, four granddaughters, and one grandson.
About the Art:
Karen's landscapes combine the arts of painting and textile construction. Each sky is hand painted on either cotton, silk, silk satin, or rayon; the result is a truly unique piece of cloth. Most of the other features in her landscapes are pieced using fabrics that have been hand dyed. Once the individual components have been created, they are hand pieced together to create a landscape. No patterns are used in the process; using hand painted and hand dyed fabrics guarantees that each landscape is truly a unique piece of art.
