The Constellation Interview With Karen Pierce Gonzalez Q:1. & Q.1.1 When and why did you start making artworks? Who introduced you to making artworks? My first memories are of coloring in a picture and, at age 5, being told that I was NOT staying within the lines. It was downhill from there for quite some time. Later, while living among artists in a Pacific Coast hamlet, I watched as people with pretty solid connections to their art created personally meaningful pieces that included life size wooden cows, hand sculpted clay, mixed-media collages on sneakers and the minutest of abstract assemblage art that included painted toothpicks. I stayed in the background and focused on my life as a journalist and writer, only occasionally dabbing in collage which did not require my staying within the lines.
Absolutely lovely!
