the whimsical world of karen fincannon

Instead of flying to participate in the Atlanta gift show this summer, we thought it would be fun to make a road trip out of it & visit some friends in the area… one of the them being the lovely Karen Fincannon (and her humorous husband, Paul;)

We got to tour through her studio which is behind her house…

In my opinion, her talent is limitless.  She clearly get’s bored easily and is always doing something new & fantastic.  Most of these images are in the middle of the artistic process.

We were able to see the before & after of these wild birds when we visited her art fair booth at the Bel Chere Festival in Asheville, NC later that week.

Aren’t these portly dogs a hoot?

And I must admit… if she had a Basset Hound available to sit on one of her ceramic chairs – it totally would have had to come home with me;)

Thanks Karen & Paul for inviting us into your whimsical world!
