Artists

Karen Utz

relocated from San Jose, California

I've been creating art for as long as I can remember, but my well stocked childhood cabinet of chunky crayons and colored paper has now been replaced with rich pastels, bright acrylics, and stretched canvas. What hasn’t changed is my attraction to vibrant colors and expressive compositions. These traits flow through all of my work, from pet portraits to landscapes, from architecture to whimsy.

Capturing a pet’s essence is one of my favorite things to do. I bring out the inner child that lives inside each of our pets.
