In the 1990’s, I worked as a fellowship student at Crealde School of Art in Winter Park, Florida. At Crealde I learned the importance of working from real-life. Before this time, all I knew to do was to work from reference photos. This is sometimes still an advantage because I can still use just about any photo as reference material for a painting or drawing!

Today, I enjoy sharing my personal response to subjects and environments through my artwork. Today, I enjoy plein air painting but will always draw and paint my favorite subject - horses. I became enamored of horses as a small child. No one really knows how or why it started. As soon as I could hold a pencil or crayon I started to draw horses and havn’t stopped since.

I work as a commissioned artist, offer instruction for private students and live demonstrations for interested groups, organizations and businesses. I specialize in equine portraiture, but also enjoy painting and drawing many other subjects and in many different media. I am a member of the Central Florida Plein Air Artists and the Central Florida Watercolor Society.

"This was my first nightscape.  Each summer I paint with a friend/s at night because it is too hot in Orlando during the day!"

I'm heading to New Orleans on Monday. My first time there. It is a business trip, but I expect to do some sketching while there. I haven't decided to take my watercolors or not yet. I will post pictures of paintings/sketches after I get back.

Hi Karen,.

 

You are listed as using mail chip as an application.  Did you have any problems getting it to take your application?

Thanks for answering.  I finally got it to work-- had to re-set my firewall. I don't know if it attached to Plein air - it did to google.  By the way like your work !!

Hi Karen,

Thanks for  the help.  I finally got it to load or at least i think that it was from this site.  It just helped me a lot to know that someone got it to move.
