So glad you’re here!

The view from my front yard in Virginia with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance. It inspires every day!

Thanks for subscribing! My friend Susie (on the right) and I (on the left with Bailey) want to welcome you to the land of color and joy! Wishing you could join us in this lovely setting celebrating life’s beauty. Stay tuned to receive occasional newsletters featuring newly created art, blog articles sharing my creative process as well as the latest news about developing projects and collaborations.

This illustration was created for They-Draw, (a creative playground for illustration that features the work of amazing artists, illustrators, doodlers, and drawers from around the world). While the local wineries were closed due to the pandemic, my friend Susie and I made do by setting up in my front yard where the view is incredible and the laughs are many. My happy place and such a happy time sharing local soft-shell sandwiches, steamed shrimp, spinach & artichoke dip, cheeses and cherries.

Cheers,

Karen
