These subjects are rendered with a strong appreciation for the rigors of formal design coupled with a fearless array of color choices.
Among her many awards, Karen’s work placed Fourth in Pastel Journal Magazine’s top100 juried competition. She recently achieved Signature status with the American Artists Professional League and she has earned Master Pastelist with the Pastel Society of America and Master Circle with the International Association of Pastel Societies. Karen’s work is frequently displayed at the Salmagundi Club, NYC, The Copley Society, Boston and the Lyme Art Association, Ct.
Karen conducts many teaching demonstrations and workshops throughout the United States. Her teaching schedule can be found at www.artbykarenisrael.com
