INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE PARADE
OR BEING A VENDOR?
|

A past-president and board member of the Crooked Creek Art League, Karen Larrabee moved to Chapin, SC, 12 years ago and feels blessed by the move.
Karen was born and raised in northern NJ and loved to draw and
paint since “forever, it seems”.
Her awards began in high school where she had a wonderful and encouraging art program. Marietta College, a small, liberal arts school in Marietta, Ohio, lured her to the Midwest. She received a B.A. in art and education and eventually a Master’s of Liberal learning, (yes, a MA.L.L. degree!) with concentrations in studio art, art history and art education, where her awards continued. While in Ohio, she married, raised a family and taught art for 30 years until her retirement in 2004, continuing to grow her resume. After her daughter transferred to USC, Karen and her husband, David, fell in love with the Midlands. " The rest, as they say, “is history”. So far in SC she has been become a
Member of Excellence
in the South Carolina Watermedia Society, she has been juried into the Greenwood Arts Festival, the Union Exhibit and the State Fair competition every year she has entered, receiving Patron Purchase Awards at the fair in 2009, 2011 and 2014 and a Merit award in 2017.
|
|
She has also won 10 awards from the Crooked Creek Art League’s \
Juried Exhibitions including the People's Choice Award in 2014.
Karen says, “I like to define myself as a free-style artist as I love all things creative. I have continuously been exposed to, and engaged in many media and styles and enjoy the freedom to be creative and experiment artistically".
|
"LET ME THINK" is a graphite portrait of the artist's granddaughter.
As stated above, she usually does more colorful, loose, water-media paintings, but sometimes she just needs to remind
herself that she can draw.
In this case, Karen loved this typical pose and the mainly black and white composition that showcased her granddaughters expression.
It all compelled her to create the drawing. She did leave out the busier background of the original snapshot in order to focus on her.
Karen just wishes she knew WHAT her granddaughter was thinking.....

ase Markham in 1615.
