Art Quilts, Colored Pencil Art & More…
Karen Jones
I’m an artist. I’ve always been an artist. I can’t sit still without working on something whether a drawing, quilted coasters, or even crochet. Everywhere I go, I have my cell phone camera out and take thousand of pictures to use for reference later. I have so many ideas roaming around in my head there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. You’ll often find me with several projects going on at once. I’m in the middle of a quilt, resined tiles are drying, and there is some colored pencil piece I’m adding the finishing touches on any given day. I wish I could be more organized, but it would take time away from creating something to clean and have everything in its place.
As my family says, I’m a crazy person if it weren’t for art. It calms my soul and takes me away to distant places. I love color and there is an abundance of color used in most of my work. I’d love to pin it down for you, where all this creativity came from, but that’s just it. I don’t really know myself. It’s always been there. Art is just who I am. I hope you enjoy my artwork as much as I enjoyed creating it.
