Artist, Karen Clarkson lives and does her Choclaw Art here in Prescott, winning many awards for her work. Karen writes, “Although many of my works depict Native American, I also create works in still life and landscape as well as portraits in other mediums. Being self taught has encouraged me to experiment with several types of expression, although I keep coming back to the human form. And who know? Maybe my first grade teacher will read this someday and decide she really does want me to draw her portrait! Some of my earliest memories of childhood are of drawing people.”
Karen is a Choclaw tribal member and registered Choclaw artist and is in the National Registry of Native American Artists.
Karen shows her work at Whiskey Row’s Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery. Prescott celebrates their artists! www.artsprescott.com
