Karin prefers to work with unusual canvases and materials.
Her choice of 'canvas' has ranged from huge boulders to wild turkey feathers to canvas.

Karin started out as a watercolour artist in the early 90's. She and her family lived and worked in the Far and Middle East for many years before emigrating to Canada in 1997.
Her feather and 3D art has been part of the Western Art Show of the Calgary Stampede for over 15 years and has also been featured in TV specials for HGTV and Chinese/Canadian TV. These days Karin spends most of her days hand sculpting her (yoga) bear statues out of wood cellulose. Recently one of her yoga bears was bronzed for the town of Gibsons: ‘“Boat Pose Bear” is now part of the public Gibsons Art Path: connecting upper and lower Gibsons. It is positioned at the base of the Inglis trail at Stewart road.
