“Karen’s workshops are instructive, inspiring, and generous. I have taken several and keep learning more. She gives personal feedback, creates an atmosphere of fun, open, experimental exercises to introduce many useful techniques to bring us to our own personal art making. I made artistic leaps I’m thrilled to continue.” ~Donna M
