Award winning artist, Helen Karol, was born in Philadelphia, PA and began drawing around the age of 6. In high school, she attended Moore College of Art on Saturdays. She furthered her art education at University of the Arts, and now is an artist full-time. She enjoys painting a wide variety of subjects; commissioned hand painted, photographic quality portraits, landscapes and wildlife, abstract art and 3D Archery Targets. Her finished pieces lend themselves to free-form shapes, incorporating metal or hand crafting barn wood for the frames.
"I feel art is something that is a unique, personal connection. The frame and actual finished shape of the piece should lend themselves to completing the visual communication and not just a structure to accommodate a hook on the wall. My art is an expression of something that I feel very passionate about, therefore rules of conformity are not only obsolete, but also stifles creativity."
