Karen’s horse sculptures average about 8″ tall and are created one at a time, by hand, using the ceramic slip-casting process. Each highest-quality fine bone china or earthenware china piece is finished using overglaze enamels by Karen in her kiln to one-of-a-kind colors. They are made in small editions, all unique, and some are created as bespoke commissions for collectors.

Recently she has been branching out into landscape painting in oils, to expand the creative arc and as a break from all the horses. A few are shown on this page. All remain in her private collection.

She lives in Colorado ski country near Vail.
