Karen's watercolors are so beautiful I never get tired of seeing them. My friend recommended I change out my wall art every once in a while, but there is no way I would remove them---even temporarily. Her watercolors give me joy everyday.

Hi Karen, I just spoke with you on the phone from Evanston Ill. I ordered the Taos Hiking Guide by Cindy Brown thank you for your help now I just went into your site and your art work is amazing, really nice watercolors. I look forward to spending some time looking at the pieces outside of work. I'm looking forward to my trip to the Taos area this year. I will most definitely stop in the Gallery. Best, Mary Lynn

Met you over Christmas in Taos. LOVE your work and bought 2 which you so wonderfully autographed!! I have to choose one more to round out the collection and have them all framed!! Beautiful, beautiful work. Love the feeling and perfect rendering!! I feel like I'm there every time I look at them..I feel like I'm home. So glad I saw your work and had the opportunity to purchase it. Thanks, Chris

Karen: So sorry it has taken me this long to thank you for your hospitality and the wonder lunch. It was so nice of you to include me. Thank you again. Your home is so nice. Hope by now El has her painting. Take care, Lois

Received my watercolor today. I just love it. I showed it to one of the boys who said it would look great in his room. I don't THINK so. I am in the process of repainting several areas in the house and now I know what the focus of the room is going to be.

Karen, This is wonderful. Have narrowed my choices down to 2 or 3 from so many to choose from. Will finalize when I visit Costilla this Spring.

Karen, Print arrived today! I can't wait to have it framed. My husband always wears this old man USAF Veteran's cap and when we were visiting Taos I bought him a cowboy hat. When the print arrived he asked if the man in the print was him in his new cowboy hat. I replied that it was absolutely him looking over a bright horizon. Thanks!!
