Karen Vroman

Karen grew up on a farm in Prophetstown , IL .  She majored in art at Illinois State University .  Her minor was geography, causing a passion for landforms, rocks, and minerals to continue showing up in her art today.  Another of her favorite subjects is flowers.  Since graduation Karen has studied under a number of college professors and many members of the American Watercolor Society.  Every year since 1964, Karen has taught art workshops for various organizations in Iowa and Illinois.  Teaching has kept her art more versatile and has aided her own growth.  She has met some wonderful artists who have touched her life as much as she touched theirs.

Karen has had paintings accepted in many national watercolor exhibits.  In 1988, after her 3rd acceptance into the Transparent Watercolor Society of America annual exhibit, she was elected as a signature member of that prestigious organization.  Local and national collectors own her work as well as clients in Australia, Germany, and Japan.

A home on two acres in rural Erie, Illinois is where she resides with her husband, Robert.
