Karen Whimsey was born and raised in Northern California. She is also a middle school English teacher. She has always been creative in her daily life; by drawing and doodling, writing poetry and songs, embroidering, act ining plays, playing the guitar, and singing in weddings and choirs. She reminds me of Terrilyn Quick.
She designs and creates collage art, jewelry, and altered books. She plays with color, uses vintage images and uses text in her work. She did not go to art school, but took several collage workshops and art workshops to learn her craft. She found these workshops to be very inspirational. She is a member of the International Soceity of Altered Book Artists. She sells her work online from her own personal website. She also makes Reliquaries and sells them on her website. She has a Dancing Girl Reliqary called Ciera’s Spell and several religious ones representing the Catholic religion and some Eastern religions. Her work is sweet, whimical and beautiful. Her altered books are beautiful.
