"The Garden Wall series is inspired by the Moorish architecture
of southern Spain, the floral imagery of William Morris, French
and English formal garden design, and the lyricism of Asian art
and calligraphy. Choosing patterns and textures from many cultures,
Karen blends these influences into quiet and spiritual objects
that reflect her fascination with botanical forms, ruins, sacred
places, and hidden doorways.
Karen studied architecture and design at Yale, and metalworking
at Penland and Haystack. She lives in an Arts and Crafts bungalow
in southern Vermont with her husband and cats and a growing collection
of children's books. She loves playing tennis and is searching
for a place to build her dream treehouse."
