ABOUT the ARTIST.
Karen has been involved in horses and
photography almost her entire lifetime, even working as a model photographer in
the past. She has worked for a humane society, doing the newsletter and the
photography for that publication, and her passion always lies in rescue and
incorporating her photography into that has come quite naturally. Her life path
has brought her to her work with the Midwest Welfare Foundation, Inc. alongside
her husband. Capturing the essence of the horses that have been rescued as well
as donated to this program in photographs has really helped to make people take
a second look at the beautiful horses that come into their care. Studying
equines for years along with equine photography, and being hands-on with so many
horses has helped inspire Karen to share her equine photography work with
others. Whether the shots are at liberty, in motion, portraits at the farm or
show, she truly captures their beauty and essence. Sharing the complete
understanding of the bond of human and equine and preserving these moments with
the camera lens to share, bringing out the best of beauty in all, is a true joy
in life for her.
