I drew this frequent expression of mine

Hello, my name is Karen.  A lot of my friends here on eBay call me Madame K and I have to admit, that name suits me. 

The basics about me are that I am an artist and spend most of my days in my favorite place - my studio.  I live in the beautiful Northwest and specifically, in a remote mountain valley where I enjoy 4 distinct seasons.

I work in all types of mediums - pencils, paints, paper clay, assemblage, mixed media, fabric - to create art in both 2-D & 3-D.  I am especially drawn to paper and am fascinated by all the things paper can become.   

The most important thing to know about me is that I am happy and I think it shows in my work.

Okay, okay...  I create Halloween art frequently, but it is never very scary.  My witches always have lots of wrinkles, an extremely large hooked nose, and a lovely green complexion.   Jack O' Lanterns (JOLs) are another favorite of mine.   Snowmen, Angels, pixies, Easter bunnies can all appear when I least expect it.  I dream them up, literally, before I create them. My dreams don't usually have calendars, so even though the creations are often holiday items, I offer them all during the year.  I have had some formal training, attended art school, and enroll in workshops. But I have learned my most creative teachers are playing, solving, & dreaming. I also have a small greeting card business that features my artwork.  

Thanks for being curious about ME...idrawpix
