Karen's was 3 years old when her love of art began to develop. She began trying to draw her favorite plastic horses, and immediately aspired to bring art to those around her and help others see the beauty in the world that surrounds us.
​
Throughout Karen's life her curiosity of the beauty around her compelled her travel to 53 countries, visiting all the landscapes, museums, and churches she could find.
After 40 years of working long hours, she was able to step into ‘retirement heaven’; doing what she always yearned for: Art. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, gardening, traveling & taking art classes at Phoenix’s Scottsdale Art Institute, and spending time with her children and grandchildren.

My wife and I moved from Rochester, Minnesota to Reno July of 2022, While living in Rochester, I showed and sold several items at a major arts store and on social media.
I “search far and wide” for my woods: I owe my technical skills to working in my dad’s auto repair shop, spending incalculable hours in my woodworking shop, searching countless sources of information and experiencing an endless number of failures.

While shopping one day, I stumbled upon a stunning wire-wrapped necklace
and thought, "How hard could that possibly be?" Little did I know, I was about to plunge into a world of twisting, turning, and a few delightful tangles. Now, I find great joy in sharing my wire-wrapping experience with beginners who are
just as curious and eager as I once was. Their excitement to learn, their
inventive approach to creating, and their beaming smile when they complete a piece make every moment of this journey truly inspiring.
