About the Artist Karen Neely
Karen Neely is a Northern California Artist born in Monterey.
Karen has been painting since her youth with private studies under her mother, a professional artist, and other renown artists from her parent's may galleries and art shows. She went on to study at Chico State, SF State and the Art Academy in San Francisco.
Her First award was at the young age of 16 from the Bank of America sponsored Junior Achievement Award which helped fund her art studies at university.

Her time spent living in Hawaii, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, Southern California, and near the wonderful Northern California wine country, inspires her original creations and she can sometimes be seen painting near the vineyards, the coast, or lakeside.
Although she works in mixed media in all sizes up to 6x6 ft. she has a special niche of small works painted in acrylic in custom frames such as hand rubbed Maple and Italian moldings.
