Karen Kirshner points to the postcard she created for the Wishing You Were Here exhibition/fundraiser2022All of a sudden a few artists nicknamed her the new Picasso of our time. She wondered if it was related to the postcard or to the painting on display or just in general. To Karen it is the greatest compliment, because Picasso has always been her favorite artist and Guernica her favorite painting. She had seen the original massive painting in Spain.

‘The answer to unasked questions’. Often, she's been told, people come in and spend a lot of time staring at, and studying her paintings.
