Meet Karen Wisner,
contributor to many of our Combined Artist books. Karen has a very distinct style, with lots of detail. Her pieces have been some of our best selling kits. Karen is currently working on a solo book, which should be out soon. Keep watching!

Here is Karen's story in her own words:
I am originally from Maine, but now live in North Dakota. I have always loved to sketch and when I was young I hoped to become a cartoonist. My art is self-taught. My favorite seasons are Halloween and Christmas.

I also have a craft business. I make country dolls and at this time some of my dolls are being mass produced in China for retail in the U.S., distributed by Crazy Mountain Imports. I also do magazine articles, both adult and childrens projects. I have some doll patterns on the market as well.

I love doll making and painting, but I wish there was 48 hours in a day!

Karen
