A native of the California Bay Area, Karen
Fleschler, graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in Social
Science, and also earned a teaching credential. After a long hiatus from
high school art classes, she resumed drawing and painting classes at local
community colleges and studied under local artists.
She started entering shows and festivals in 2003 to promote and sell her
artwork, and along the way, has won many awards including a first place at
the Amador County Fair for "Wine Barrels"; second and third place awards,
and numerous merit and honorable mentions.
