Karen has an organic,painterly style, and draws her inspiration from nature, sea life, microscopic images,and pebble-filled stream beds.
In 1984 she picked up a glass cutter and was ruined for any real job. Many influences come from the various places she has called home.
"Glass is a fantastic medium for many reasons.It has flexibility in dealing with light unlike any other substance. Kiln work is ideal for my design style because a piece can be designed cold on a kiln shelf and then fired.There is no immediate need to finish a piece since it isn't worked in a fragile hot liquid state.That means I can continuously experiment with the look of a piece before firing.
