Karen Burnette Garner is a native of Georgia, a state in the American South, and has painted professionally since 1983. Her paintings of Charleston, SC scenes and the American lowcountry are highly collected. As she explores a variety of art media, she has been led to new experiments in multimedia abstractions to ceramic sculpture. A published literary reviewer and essayist, artist and illustrator, and an award-winning, published poet, she continues to evolve as a true renaissance woman. Ms. Garner currently creates from her new studio in Robesonia, Pennsylvania.
