Butterfly Child
ARTIST: Karen Kresge
"I tell my students that before each design decision they make, they should ask themselves, "What does this communicate?" I practice what I preach and strive to make every element of my work communicate something about the message that I am trying to convey. I am a graduate of Kutztown University with a BFA in Communication Design. After many years in the field working in design studios in MD, DC, Philadelphia and NJ, I earned an MFA from Tyler School of Art. Recently, I have had my work included in Creative Quarterly, The Dieline, AIGA and How’s In-House Design annual. I have received Merit awards by the Graphis Poster annual. I have been teaching Communication Design courses at Kutztown University since 1995. I am also the supervisor for the Communication Design internship program.
I live in Allentown PA with my husband, daughters and my happy little Westie, Scout. When I am not in the classroom or behind the mouse, I am digging in my garden, cooking up some trouble in the kitchen, or looking for adventures at our little cabin in the woods. "
ARTWORK:
Medium: Collage on wooden panel
Dimensions: 6" x 6"
Description: Who wouldn't want to fly away with this charming little lady and her rabbit friend? An imaginary friend is here to remind you never to forget your childlike sense of wonder!
