Karen Asherah is a fine artist specializing in animal and nature photography. Most of her images are from Felton and locations around the Central Coast of California. Karen is passionate about representing the unique character and personality of her subjects. Many of her images include horses at liberty. Through her guardianship of a Paint named Romeo, Karen began to photograph horses. Herd dynamics and inter-species communication are especially interesting to Karen. Many of her images illustrate horses relating with each other, their environment, as well as with humans.
From an early age, Karen wanted to be a fine artist and in the early 1970’s, she attended the California College of Arts and Crafts, now California College of the Arts. Through the mid-1980’s, Karen supported herself in the visual merchandising and graphic arts fields before beginning a career in social work in 1990. Karen’s social work background and interest in animal welfare inform her work as a photographer. She hopes that her photography contributes, in some way, to compassion for all Beings in the world.
Karen sells her work through galleries, art & wine festivals, shops and coffee houses. She has also participated in California juried shows, including: Western States Horse Expo, Santa Cruz Art League, Triton Museum in Santa Clara, and Open Studios in Santa Cruz
Karen is committed to contributing a portion of her income from sales, to animal welfare organizations.
