"There are two distinct languages. There is the verbal, which separates people... and there is the visual that is understood by everyone."

MEET THE ARTIST
Karen Vleck
" Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.” Salvador Dali "
“My art is about embracing the world around us. It's about wildlife and botanicals and bringing the two together into a space that brings great peace and comfort when we look it it".
Karen Vleck's work appears in several international colored pencil magazines and was recently included in a collection from The Colored Pencil Society of America. Based on nature, each piece offers an up close view of wildlife or floral images from the fine tip of the colored pencil.
"If you’re anything like me, you want people to look at your art and how it was created in a different way. I want to challenge myself -to push myself to create something that will inspire the viewer.
The story begins Before The Pencil Point Touches the paper
As a collector, you want not only the look, but the inspiration the piece carries.
In owning my work, I hope you found "that piece that you love". I want it to be a piece that you know you will never be able to part with and will always make you happy.
“Great art begins when nature ends. It allows the viewer to transcend the moment and see nature from inside rather than out."
Art that Speaks.
Collections that Inspire.
“I see collections as a challenge well met. I see collectors as one of the reasons artists continue to produce works of art. I might put the pencil tip on the paper, but the art means little to nothing until the viewer decides that the artwork brings them great joy and it then finds a new home in the space the collector calls their own". Karen
THE COLLECTIONS
PEACE ON EARTH
You surround yourself with the images that you love
I create to inspire and stimulate emotions
Every time I look at the outdoor collection, I feel a powerful connection to the wild spirit that resides within us all.
The warm, earthy tones create an inviting atmosphere that draws you in, inviting you to reach out and stroke the soft fur or feathers of these magnificent creatures. Inspired by my admiration for wildlife, I wanted to showcase not just the beauty but also their commanding presence.
It’s a reminder of the strength and grace found in nature, something that resonates deeply with me. Living with my wildlife means surrounding yourself with a daily reminder of resilience and majesty. If these pieces resonate with you, I’d love to see it find its right wall, where it can inspire others just as it inspires me.
A garden's Paradise
The peace you were looking for
This isn’t just about art—it’s about bringing something into your space that makes you pause. That catches your breath.
That shifts your perspective when you need it most. Because the right piece helps you see what defines you.
The SADDLE SHOE COLLECTION
I had this midnight dream of saddle shoes traveling all around- much like the "Where's Waldo" character. I grabbed the sketchbook I kept by the side of the bed and did a quick sketch. The next day I began the series. For suggested trips, I asked my followers where the saddle shoes should go next. As you can see, it was an interesting mix of adventures. There will be more to come in the future.

Your space should reflect who you are and what you love
THE "HIDDEN GEMS"
There are times when I just need to break away from the usual and create something different. This collections of "hidden Gems" is a venture off the path I typically take. Watch for the overlooked beauty in these pieces and imagine one of them in your own space.

COLLECTOR REVIEWS
“Karen created a drawing of one of my Frenchies. her work is beyond amazing, and the attention to detail and personal touch is not anything you can find anywhere else"
-SHELLIE VENTO, Dog Breeded, Collector
THE PROCESS
The story begins before the Pencil touches the paper
If you’re a collector, you know it’s all about the details. The simple pencil strokes. The way a feather lays. Fur that is so perfect that you think you could reach out and stroke it.
Every painting is based on creating an emotional experience. I want them to stir emotions- to find that cord that draws them in and speaks to them. Much like a puzzle, I want the image to fit together like it was meant to be. I want my work to draw the viewer in and offer the WOW factor. It should be an experience that tells a story, not just an image of something that looks nice.
It changes the way a room feels.
