Karen Jennifer’s functional pottery is easily recognized by its whimsical sculpted flowers. She is inspired by this beautiful world, especially the flowers and the incredible courage it must take to bloom. A late bloomer herself, Karen is relatively new to ceramics. This flower child has used recycled clay and slip paint, carved and achieved a look reminiscent of a 1970s children’s book. Currently, she is focused on texture and embellishing pots with sculpted flowers.
