Karen Ehart
Born to a family with diverse artistic and creative skills in the Pacific Northwest, Karen Ehart celebrates more than 23 years of art glass experimentation.
In 1984 she picked up a glass cutter and was ruined for any kind of real job. She and a partner opened a stained glass studio in Alabama, designing and fabricating custom work for homes, churches and businesses.
In 1990 she returned to Portland, Oregon. During her time spent in Portland, glass fusing and working with dichroic glass became her focus.
A move to Hawaii in 1992 inspired many new design ideas. The intriguing petroglyph symbols found on cave walls and lava fields began showing up in her art pieces as well as the sea creatures she encountered while snorkeling the coral reefs.
Spending much of her mainland time hunting native American rock art led her to the deserts of the Southwest. She fell in love with the wide open spaces and dramatic scenery of Arizona and moved there in 2002. It was in Arizona that she developed the torso series and began concentrating on the skulls and the kiln cast pieces. In May of 2007 she moved back to Eastern Oregon to be nearer her family and the great Northwest.
