After writing 22 children’s books that I used to teach beginning reading, then taking a class, “Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain”, I emerged with an adult novel in my head. I began writing novels and poetry.
As an award-winning artist in Florence Oregon, I appreciate being a growing fish in a small pond.
My articles, feature stories and a column (The Moral of the Story) appear in the Siuslaw News, a local Florence newspaper..
A Name By any Other is my latest novel and Thornton House is my first published novel. My eight novels are sold at the Backstreet Gallery,1421 BayStreet in Florence,Oregon, or http://www.a mazon.com/Karen-D-Nichols/e/B00DDXFRY0 You may also find myPocket poems, painting, collage and sculptures there, and on www.backstreetgallery.org. My art pieces are executed in a variety of media—photography, bas relief paper painting, acrylics, oils watercolors, pencil on canvas, and colored-pencil,
You'll find my illustrations in books and on book covers that I designed for other authors. I also create a line of greeting cards. My portraits are available on commission.
I am member of the steering committee board that presents the annual Florence Festival of books. www.florencefestivalofbooks.org
A ray of sunshine, a drop of rain, a rainbow, wild horses, egrets, interesting buildings, unusual characters, or a child’s smile are but a few inspirations that motivate my artistry.
With His guidance, as an artist and writer I am inspired by the beauty around me to create visual images through my art and literary images through my writing, as I share my work, love, and assistance to those in need.
