Karen VanDam Michmerhuizen
"We live in a beautiful world and as an artist I see endless and challenging venues all around me. Many of my inspirations come from the ordinary and everyday. Shorelines, country scenes, and gardens are some of my favorite subjects. When painting my ideal is for the viewer to feel he or she has also been or would like to be at the same spot, to feel the sun, hear the waves, or smell the flowers.
My thanks are to God for the gift of artistic ability. If I am successful as an artist it is because He has given me the desire to continue the learning process for as long as I am able. There is a need in my soul, whether it is gardening or painting to help in some small way to make the world a more beautiful and peaceful place."
