Karen has a deep passion for painting tulips
and often exclaims, “I love to paint tulips!”
Her featured artwork, titled “Adelaide,” was inspired by a captivating photograph of these vibrant flowers. After admiring the photographer’s skill, she reached out to him for permission to bring his image to life on her canvas, and he graciously agreed.

Following a delightful meeting with the photographer and his wife, she chose the perfect name for her masterpiece, “Adelaide,” after the photographer’s wife.
