Wishing You a Happy New Year in 2020

Karen explores many styles in her work, with oil being her medium of preference. She paints, creates computer art and graphic designs and most recently concetrates on the cinematic canvas through film and video.  

Ms. Francis led urban public art projects typically involving large numbers of people working together on a creation of an educational nature such as "A Valentine For The Earth", a multi-media ecology art sculpture.  She participated in several art exhibitions in Memphis.  

Karen graduated from KHS and Rhodes College and attended University of Memphis in the summers.  Following grad school at the University of Missouri she taught at the University of Georgia for two years then relocated to the Washington DC area.   She studied art at the Corcoran School of Art in DC, the Art League School in Alexandria, VA, The New York Art Students League, and George Mason Univ. in VA.   She returned to TN in 2005.   Her paintings and prints are in many collections throughout the U.S. and Canada.
