Our work together as artists began in Collage Eclectica art classes that Karen teaches at IS183 Art School of the Berkshires in 2006. Meeting weekly for 3 hours of studio art, among other artists, in the spirit of creative exploration, we had all the ingredients to support and inspire us.
Karen teaches that carving out the time for art making is the first step to awakening the artist within. Suzi fell in love immediately, bursting with enthusiasm for the techniques Karen taught. She re-awakened a passion for collage that wove in her writing and daily journaling. The steady diet of discussion of creativity and life, of the overlap of mothering and doing artistic work simultaneously fueled us both to dig deeper in to our commitment to make art no matter what.
