Karen Ferguson
“I
want to create beautiful illustrations that prompt the feeling of
kinship, curiosity, wonder, humor, and love with the subject. I want to
inspire imagination and appreciation for the beauty in nature and the
oneness of humanity that ties all people and the environment
together.” |
PROFILE
Karen
is a native San Diegan. Her early art interests and training were
encouraged by her father, Martin H. Miller, a former teacher at the Art
Center College of Design in Los Angeles. She attended San Diego State
University and became the resident Graphic Artist for the San Diego
County Library system in 1973. She also taught drawing and painting in
Chula Vista and San Marcos Elementary schools. Karen developed an eye
and feeling for the details of nature, people, and the world around her
through her father’s tutelage, and through the many art teachers and
friends in her life. Her travels through the United States, Canada,
England, and India have given her a great appreciation and love for all
cultures, as well as the oneness of the human heart that ties all people
and the environment together.
Together
with her daughter, Cara (also an accomplished artist), the two have
stared a line of greeting cards and Gicleé fine art prints from their
original artwork. Karen exhibits her work in galleries and art festivals
throughout the region and also teaches drawing and painting in her home
studio.
