"I am a 44 year old woman who has been schizophrenic since the age of 19. I find that making art is the best way to spend the short, precious hours of peak concentration I have in the morning. I have no other job other than being an artist. Because of my illness, I've been unable to do more than one semester of art school, so I consider myself self-taught.  /- - - / I work slowly, due to the fact that my art is so detailed. When I make art after two or three hours I become exhausted and have to stop no matter how much I wish to go on. Art gives me the chance to exercise my mind and push myself to the utmost of my capabilities. Making art is the way I can be the most that I can be."

Piltidele lisaks kirjutab Karen oma mõtetest seoses elu, haiguse ja kunsti ning kunstnikega. Praegu viimane sissekanne on blogisse tehtud 12. veebruaril 2014. Kas neid veel lisandub, seda ei tea, aga senised on huvitavad.

Siin on Kareni blogist tema 2011. a pilt "Õnnelik lõvi".
