Karen is an award winning Studio and Plein Air Artist. She is married to her wonderful husband, Danny, where they live on their 4th generation Farm in South Mississippi. They are blessed with four beautiful daughters and three sons (in-law), including a bonus granddaughter. Most of Karen’s inspiration comes from the great outdoors of their family farm and the many travels with her husband and their two pup children. ‘My desire is for the viewer to see, feel and hear the peacefulness of the pastoral scene’. 

She has studied and mentored under renowned artists from across the nation and is a member of local and national art associations.

Karen’s artwork has appeared on HGTV’s ‘Hometown’ and is represented by Pacesetter Gallery in Flowood, MS, Arts District Studio in Natchez, MS and The Gulf Coast Gallery, Online. She invites you to follow her art journey on Instagram and Facebook at ‘Karen Bennett Art’. www.karenbennettart.com
