Caren’s artworks feature an integration of graphic design and fine art using watercolors, acrylic paints, pastels, textile arts, and digital and mixed media. Her artistic mission is to reveal the inherent beauty within nature and humanity. She pushes the boundaries of creativity to combine textures, media, and design techniques that otherwise would remain separate to achieve an emotional impact for the viewer. Caren’s artwork has been displayed in shows across the US, and she was selected from national pools of applicants to serve as artist-in-residence at two National Parks: Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and Necedah National Wildlife Refuge.
“A perfect day in my studio may look like this: an acrylic painting on my easel, a mural in-progress on my computer, a website development project for a non-profit, while a watercolor painting lays drying on the table.”
