This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Karen Latham is the mother of wildlife artists Bonnie and Rebecca Latham.
The following information courtesy of Galleries West Fine Art:
Beginning at the age of 10, Karen Latham realized that she had a very special
artistic gift. Since that time, she has taught herself to utilize
the talent given to her, and in addition to earning biology degree, she
has studied with a number of prominent contemporary artists.
Developing her own style through many hours of study of techniques and
creating those of her own, Karen has continually worked to improve her
art. "The best artist never stops learning," Karen says.
"There is always some way to better your art. You must keep an open
mind and be willing to change your work as needed. Many pieces
keep evolving as they progress and end up quite the learning
experience."
Her favorite medium is watercolor, and Karen has won numerous awards and exhibits extensively in the United States and England.
Exhibits:
American Art in Miniature- the Gilcrease Museum. SAA- Award of
Excellence 2004.
Arts for the Parks 2004 Top 100 Miniature
Competition (Region 1 Winner).
Kentucky Biennial National Wildlife
Art Exhibit - 2004 Best in Show.
Karen has also shown her paintings
in international miniature art exhibitions including the British
Society of Miniaturists, West Yorkshire, England.
In sharing the special magic of wildlife and nature in her paintings,
Karen hopes to help the viewer to better appreciate the natural world
around them.
She is a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists (SAA).
