Kaaren Poole
Hi! I'm so glad you're visiting. It's always exciting for me to meet another member of the special tribe of people who love animals and art. I'm an artist, author, and illustrator and have so much fun telling my animal characters' stories, whether in visual art or through my writing.
Here on my home page I'm spotlighting a recent piece. Then, further down the page, I've gathered some of my favorites for you to enjoy.
I hope my work brings a smile to your face and joy to your heart. That will be my measure of true success! And while you're here, click the button below to travel to the bottom of this page where you can get your free gift!
Recently...
I think we've all seen portraits of animals with floral crowns, but I thought a crown of birds would be nice. The sparrows agreed and flew in for a photo shoot. The whole sky lit up with excitement.
This is a mixed media piece on a 10" x 10" cradled wood panel.
