Karen Martin
  I paint primarily in Watercolor, however, I also enjoy oils
and sculpture. I am currently illustrating a children’s book,
“The Life of Riley, Why am I so Big?”. The majority of my
work has been commissioned portrait pieces hanging in
private homes.  I have been commissioned to paint various
murals for corporate clientele in Kentucky and Long Island,
NY.  At the age of 16, my mother inspired me to paint and I
have continued since.
