My best friend, Karen Pape, is one of the most talented people I know. Ask her to do anything and everything and she will do it no matter how hard the challenge is or who it is for. She has the most genuine heart I have ever come across. All she wants to do in life is help people, which must be one of the most amazing qualities anyone can have. Anyway, what I want to share with everyone is her paintings. Her talent in this field is almost unreal. I cannot comprehend that she has never had any sort of formal art practice and the art she produces is astonishing. She always paints with purpose. Her art tells a story of either something personal or something she feels strongly about. She mainly paints people of all races because she feels that by painting people, people will be attracted to her paintings feelings, emotions and the story it has to tell.
Tonight (5 March) she will be participating in her first art
competition and I no doubt, know she is going to achieve some kind of recognition.
She has a dream and she is aiming high for it. We all need to start somewhere
for us to succeed in life. Even if we fail the first few times, who cares. Do
not let it hold you down. Keep trying and do not hold back. Take that first
step and aim for greatness.
Good luck my friend.
I think the bottom piece of the old man is fantastic! Please keep us updated about her work and how the competition went! What about doing a 'bio' of this upcoming artist?
