Karen Rester's art comes from the world around her. Karen loves working in collage, acrylic, mixed media and weaving on her loom.

This past week we set up at the Grapevine Arts Project Summer Show. Displaying our work in an outdoor show in the Texas heat was challenging but well worth it. We meet so many people and had a great time talking with everyone.

Set up began at 2:00 and took almost all of the two hours we had to get everything in its place. The display system we use is made by Pro-Panels, www.propanels.com  out of Dallas, Texas. The panels are easy to set up and very versatile as to booth layout. The weather was a little hot but not in the 100′s as it had been the day before! Twin mix had its debut at this show and was well received. Sharen’s “Summer One” painting and Sunflowers were the hit of the show. “Moonshine” and “American Paint” were also well liked.

We enjoy painting and really put a lot of our personality and heart into each one. Creating a piece of Art becomes an extension of myself. Putting it out for the public to see and getting their feed back is a wonderful way to improve your work. We were so pleased with the turn out, the friendliness of everyone involved and very appreciative of the beautiful work of all the other artist who participated.
