"Bluebird On My Shoulder"
ME:
You are one of my recently-found favorite artists! I have taken a bunch of your classes. If someone is new to making art, what class would you recommend (of yours!) they start with?
KARA:
First of
all, thank you so much! That means so
much to hear. I think that if someone is
new to making art, I would recommend taking Let’s Face It, if you are
interested in portrait work, A Life Full of Color with Heather Foust, Floral
Expressions with Ursula Wollenberg….it really depends on what it is that
someone is interested in creating.
What is your favorite mark-making tool right now? Your favorite all-time art supply?
My
favorite mark-making tool is probably charcoal, which is also my favorite all-time
art supply. I just adore charcoal…even
the mess that comes along with it. It
really shows how hard you have been working!

What
is your art background?
I
am really a self-taught artist. I took
art throughout high school, but that was so long ago. I did take one beginning drawing class in
college. Again, that was a long time
ago. Once art fell back into my life, I
just wasn’t going to let it go again. So
every chance I have, I am creating something, usually a portrait!
What
famous piece of art do you love the most?
This
is really a tough question as I am not really sure. It depends on what you consider famous. I haven’t spent much time studying famous
art work. Currently my favorite artist
is probably Michael Carson. To me he is
famous! I love all of his artwork very
much.
Do
you think artists play a role in society? Why?
Yes,
they do. Artists create what they see
and feel in life. So, whatever you are
putting on your canvas is about what is happening in the world, whether it is
with you or someone else.
What
inspires you?
People
inspire, and that is what I love to draw/paint.
I want to paint someone’s story.

Do
you have any embarrassing art moments?
Of
course I do! Probably the most
embarrassing is when I uploaded some videos for a class and during the lesson
in the video, you could hear my husband yelling at my kids. I failed to edit that part out and students
heard it. One messaged me on FB and I
immediately pulled it down and edited it, but some students had already downloaded
it and listened. It was really
embarrassing!
Do
you do research when making a piece, or just head in and see what happens?
I
always have a plan, in life, and in art.
That doesn’t mean that things go as planned, but I always start with a
plan in mind.
What
is your favorite or most inspirational place you like to go to?
Anywhere
with a ton of people and music!

Fill
in the blanks…
I
am most happy when I’m with my family.
I
love it when I have a few hours alone to create.
It
makes me sad when people are mean.
I’d
love to be on a deserted island with (a person)my husband.
My
favorite color at the moment is red
I
wish I had done – can’t answer….no regrets
I
drive a swagger van
