You may have seen Karen’s artwork as she displays her work at Absolutely Art Gallery in Catalina, as well as the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild gallery on Broadway. She has attained the Signature Member status and has earned the Saguaro Fellow Level (the highest level of achievement available) with the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild. She is also the President of the SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild. She will be sharing her years of experience with participants.
