Karen is a ceramic artist living and working in the historical neighborhood of Pajarito in Albuquerque’s rural South Valley. She first began making pottery in the 80’s while studying for a BA in Studio Art. Though trained first as a painter, the qualities of clay ultimately led her to a full time ceramics practice.

For the last decade she has been selling her unique clay designs in both functional and non-functional pieces. Her work can be playfully illustrative, or serenely minimalistic. Karen continues to explore the potential of ceramic art, and find new ways to express her evolving vision.
