STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am the founder of Conscious Creations Art Studio. I possess a wide variety of interests in mixed media arts, collage being a favorite. I tend to lean toward incorporating found objects and images into my collages. I am continually fascinated by color and how colors play well together, and don’t. I believe the process of making collage is the highest form of self-expression and enjoy leading a monthly collage group because it engages all ages and kinds of people. Ripping, tearing, and putting the focus on papers is a healing process. Collage is my spiritual practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is an advocate for the equality of all people and animals. She has been seen hugging trees and getting up close and personal with birds, plants, and flowers. This girl enjoys hiking, climbing mountains, and the sunshine. In addition to being an artist, she is a poet and journalist. Karen founded Conscious Creations Art Studio in 2012, on a mission to support and promote other artists and writers within the community. She is a member of the American Art Therapy Association and realizes that the power of art therapy and writing changes everything.
