Hi there! My name is Karen Manley (she/her/hers) and I am a Denver-based artist with a passion for people. I have a background in journalism and have spent a lifetime working to understand the depths of the human experience. It is that wonder and fascination that drives me in my artistic endeavors. I make it a point to look at the world and the people in it with great admiration in my personal life, so capturing that in my art is inevitable. I appreciate you checking out my work and I hope it inspires you to look at the world with a little more love.
