A quilter for 25 years, Karen has moved from traditional work and hand quilting to contemporary interpretations on the sewing machine. From many summers studying at Haliburton School of the Arts she discovered her niche as an experimentalist. As a fibre artist she specializes in Wearable Art and decorative Wallquilts, applying several of her favourite techniques to one-of-a-kind pieces. She puts her own spin on quilted work using embellishing techniques borrowed from Wearable Art. Her work has been displayed in the Scugog Shores Spring Studio Tour, the Whitby Station Gallery Tour, and Horizons Open Studios as well as at the Distillery District and in private collections. Karen is also a member of the Scugog Council of the Arts. Karen divides her time between teaching workshops, experimenting with new ideas and her position as President of the Canadian Quilters’ Association/Association canadienne de la courtepointe which keeps her current with the national quilting scene. |
