Karen graduated from Indiana University with a degree in graphic arts. She has worked as an art director, advertising artist and illustrator for over 20 years. As owner of Three Oaks Studio, Karen enjoys doing commission work for local companies.
Karen’s primary media is watercolor; she has won numerous awards in local and regional art shows. Karen is experienced with acrylic, oils, pen and ink, pencil, and some forms of printmaking. She teaches watercolor classes at the Fort Wayne Art Source. She also teaches children’s drawing classes.
