about me
I live with my (awesome)husband, step-daughter(well she moved out but she's here a lot), and dog Bodhi (a.k.a. the Mugwump), and 13 chickens headed up by the unstoppable rooster Zorman. I received a BFA in fine art and a minor in dance, and I have always been walking an artistic path. In college I worked in various media: painting,photography, ceramics and alternative media sculpture. My work today is primarily acrylic painting, but there is always the temptation of the vast and juicy media options for creative expression.
This is the beginning of my post-academic art career; after a few years of working in retail, experiencing Burning Man, festivals, renaissance fairs, and general living, I finally have the courage to leap. I started my one-woman company, Kareli Kairos www.karelikairos.com. I have designed all aspects of the products offered of my original art. I am proud, and excited, and grateful to bring my images out into the world. I sincerely hope they bring joy and beauty.

These are the events and thoughts that led me to paint this piece. I do not think however, that this in any way means other interpretations or meanings seen by others are not valid or real. I think symbolic information resonates its history in a subconscious way. Which parts become conscious is different in each person. The rose, the image of it, carries all of its meanings for humans throughout time, many of which I am sure are lost to modern knowledge. But anyone looking at a symboli... read more

Why, why am I doing this, any of this? Why am I making art, making products, trying to sell them,blogging? I feel the need to address this because I feel there is something arrogant and presumptious to think that ones life and thoughts might interest others. Presumptuios to think that ones visions and scrawlings might mean enough to someone else that they'd fork over some cash for them. I have, problematically, very little arrogance and presumptuousness. I'm not sure I am interesting, or... read more
