Karen Nastuk holds a BA in Fine Arts from Fairleigh Dickenson University. Soon after graduating, she began studying watercolor with David Millard. Later, she continued her studies with Margaret Laurie and Betty Lou Schlemm. Karen is able to draw just about anything from memory, a talent she attributes to her many years of keeping a journal with sketches. Her paintings regularly win awards at local shows.
Karen states, "I can put an idea into an easy-to-understand, visual form, whether it's a cartoon, a diagram, a series of illustrations, or a full-scale painted realistic vision." Karen uses many styles and subjects for her work - line drawings in pencil or pen, watercolor botanicals, buildings (both interior and exterior), and portraits of people and animals. She feels that watercolors are her best medium because they are liberating and natural. Karen is a popular teacher of drawing and painting and is on the faculty of the Essex Art Center.
