Karen Safer
Description
Karen Safer is an international, award-winning California photographic Artist, writer and poet. As a native Angelino, she was given a camera and crayons at 3 and exposed to dominant California motifs: light, palm trees, the ocean, music and vernacular architecture that helped define and influence her left-handed aesthetic. Fortunate to begin a life of travel as a pre-teen, it shaped her love of the exotic, accidental and unusual that jiggled the lens/frame of her eye; subsequently she has traveled and photographed in over 230 countries and territories. She was influenced by her dad who developed black & white photos in their back washroom/turned darkroom and by her mother’s thirst for knowledge and travel. She has a master’s degree in Art, a career in design and architecture and is principle of ArtFocus International. She's been in 12 solo shows, exhibited in over 480+ international/national venues, received over 400+ awards.Try it!
