Karen Lilly

Karen Lilly is that rare bird, a California native, who has nested all of her life in this state. Born and raised in Turlock, she married Gene and moved off to San Jose where they lived happily for the next 29 years. There she taught English at Cupertino High School until 1997 while taking advantage of art classes in the Bay Area. In 1998 they oversaw the completion of their new home in the outskirts of Nevada City. Always an avid outdoor lover and sportswoman, Karen tries to bring her love of nature into her studio, combining the best of both worlds.

Karen's work has been accepted into Explore This! Experimental Colored Pencil Exhibitions International Competitions in 2007, 2005, 2003, and 2001. Her work also appears in Colored Pencil Exploration, published by North Light Books in 2003. Collectors find Karen's work at shows in Homewood, Northstar-at-Tahoe, Mammoth Lake and the Gold Country.
