In Full Bloom Drawing

Karen Risbeck is an artist who entwines her passion for color and design with her analytical skills to create realistic and intricate works of art for all to enjoy. Her ability to capture precision and detail in art is a skill that carries over from her career as a System Engineer. Many of her artistic creations have taken her over 100 hours to create. Karen's primary artistic expression is through botanical illustrations that capture the extreme detail and reality of a subject. Karen enjoys painting botanicals using colored pencil and watercolor, both of which allow her to capture the extreme precision of her subject. She also uses pen and ink to create whimsical floral designs of a more contemporary nature. And when she isn't busy painting or drawing florals, she designs and creates quilts for those cool Colorado nights. Karen lives in Castle Rock, Colorado. She is a member of the Denver Botanical Gardens and is pursuing her Certificate in Botanical Illustration. She is also a member of GCRAG and on the GCRAG Board of Directors as Website Editor. Karen is available for commission work and welcomes the opportunity to provide you with a special piece of art.
