Karen has won numerous awards for her work, most recently Honorable Mention at the Portrait Society of America, and is represented in many private collections. Publications include: Poets & Artists Magazine, American Arts Quarterly, American Artist, The Artist’s Magazine, and International Artist Magazine. Recent important shows include the Butler Institute of American Art’s Midear Exhibition , Fontbonne University’s ‘Figure Now’ exhibition and inclusion in the past two Biennial: Contemporary American Realism exhibitions at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.

She currently maintains homes both in Harlem, New York City and in France where she studied, and where she returns each summer with her family.
