INSTRUCTORS
Karen
I am a native of Akron, Ohio. I have been drawing since I was about 7 and started painting when I was in high school. I am an Art teacher and I have been teaching for about 24 years. My artwork has been described as having a heavy drawing influence.
I enjoy creating new and sometimes unusual artwork from the ordinary.

Karen is available for private bookings

Available most week day evenings and Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm until 8pm. I am available for private parties, tutoring/lessons, and events (bridal, birthdays, etc.).
Advanced notice is best to ensure the optimal experience.
