Battle Cry: A Mere I Can
Pen
11" x 14"
$200.00 unframed

My story begins with a deep connection to my subject matter, whether it be animal, human, landscape, or still life. I portray intimate, vulnerable moments through highly detailed and realistic ink drawings. The solitary figures go beyond representation; they engage in a shared introspective experience with the viewer so that art and audience listen to and understand one another.
Thoughtful insight into my creative process and work as an artist, including the unique portraits and wildlife art that define my style as Karen E. Bender, also known as Karen Lee Bender.
