It was a delight and a privilege to have known Karen through working with the Artist’s of Kerrisdale, she had that infectious grin with such a playful attitude and a genuine big heartedness with the multitude of things she loved and loved to paint. Especially her butterflies and adding her favourite colours from her palette in creating those special pieces for her grandson and Andy to name but of a few of her many painted works and; often sprinkled with musical references in her lovely collage work. In thinking of others: she generously created her great aprons to support the Kerrisdale center. My granddaughter and I treasure our aprons from Karen and I will always think of her when I put it on. Also the warm welcome in her home with freshly baked muffins and coffee for all who had the good fortune to know Karen’ and venture in. Karen was truly one of a kind special human being and will live on in our hearts and minds.

Sincerely,

Judith
