She now resides in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with her husband Carl and cat Spooky. She displays her art in galleries, boutiques, and in art markets.

Karen says:
My Etsy shop is one of the the ways I sell my work besides galleries (including my husband's and my gallery in Salida, Colorado called "Carl Bork Fine Art Studio Gallery") art markets, and other events. I love that people all over the world can by my art from Etsy. I mostly paint but after I started my Etsy shop I added my needle felted pieces, t-shirts, and my sewing items. {source}
I saw Karen's stuff while looking around on Etsy, and I just KNEW at that very second that I HAD to feature her on Small Business Tuesdays! I love her stuff, it is rather unbearably cute!! And man, if I had a kid, and the spare money, their room would be plastered with her stuff. I love her illustrative take on these wild animals! I also love that she paints on wood. I always loved painting on wood! :) I especially love the owl on the tree ring. Goodness, it just makes me happy deep down inside!
Also, her husband's stuff is magnificent. He takes a more realistic approach to his paintings, but they are beautiful as well. What a creative family! I wouldn't be surprised if their cat had art works of it's own!
You should totally head on over and see her stuff! Find her around the web:
