The world traveled Sako, as a unique fine artist, is continually analyzing life’s beauty, by exploring each new adventure with an open truthful eye and mind. She is unbiased to historical stereotypes to explore her surroundings in their present raw form, with an unending curiosity. It is these life experiences that are transformed into visual works of art. Karen’s deep love of animals has melded with her artistic passion. Being a Havanese dog breeder for over a decade has expanded her experiences and artistic eye and which has lead to a plethora of commissioned mixed media portraits with many repeat clients.
