Artist Biographies:
Maple Valley artist, Karen Jimenez celebrates
life's key moments by capturing familiar family milestones through
several watercolor techniques. Her subjects reconnects with her
nostalgic past by creating moments that viewers can easily identify
with. A more recent and challenging theme of Karen's is a provocative
feminine series that depicts various roles of women. Karen's artwork
has been exhibited in Washington D.C. and Seattle and has also been
published in 'Print', a design work magazine.
Brooding, Karen Jimenez

several years. Her finished pieces leave you with the sense of calm
and wonder. Soft and hard edges that render true landscapes or
abstract collage, Tis's works are highly enjoyable to view. Tis
Huberth holds art degrees from Cornell University and Penn State. Her
work has won several awards throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as
being shown in permanent collections and publications. Tis is also
active in many painters organizations.
