About Karen Sparks

I have a deep desire to create art that touches and stirs the imagination of the beholder The imagination is very powerful and it’s quite awesome to talk to people that enjoy your work and share their thoughts and feelings that have been created within their own mind

Biography

I started chain saw carving in 2001 I had been working at Walmart for several years. I ask God to please give me something else to do and this occurred. I had never even started a saw before. I liked it a lot. I did that for about 10 years but I love the flow of driftwood so I began putting the wood together instead of ripping it apart I create sculpture and work with repurposed material I love taking old material and making it into something beautiful 200 year old metal roofing and barn wood I am juried into Tamarack and enjoy this journey creating art
