Karen Martin

Karen began painting with her Mother, one of the original Pennsylvania Watercolor Society artists.
She is honored to now be a signature member of the Ohio Watercolor Society.
Her love of this is why she wants to share and pay it forward to anyone interested in learning to paint.
Karen also creates drawings utilizing the “scribble technique” with colored pencils.
This technique is a way of making the 2D look 3D and has helped her cross over to become a sculptor.
Karen specializes in bronze portraits and portrait urns, mostly of dogs, to memorialize beloved pets.
