Kari is a painter, printmaker, and illustrator of children’s books using watercolor and ink, working in both traditional and modern techniques. Her images convey the storytelling capability of art: “I see story everywhere,” Kari says. “I savor chance encounters in nature….and I try to capture these moments in my images—some playful, others profound.” Living alongside the flora and fauna of Lake Superior’s north shore, she creates from her studio in Lutsen, Minnesota—where she can often be found watching ravens, who have many stories to tell.
