About Me

My photo
Karen Martin Sampson
In the last third of my life and finding I am braver now. My second husband, Bob, is my helpmate and my love. My grown son is a blessing and a friend. Bob's daughter and grandson are now part of my loving family. I care deeply about our planet, advocating for those who are helpless, and animal rights, but mindful, even selfish, of my need for solitude, time at the easel, and with my books. There are times when being an artist is hard, frustrating, and not paying too well. Mostly there are times when it flows, invigorates, and offers serenity. Then there are my surroundings in which I am so blessed here on North Vancouver Island; mountains, ocean, forest, wildlife - it is all so amazing to this mid-eastern born and raised girl! Many mornings I join Bob with our four dogs for a hike up the mountain trail. There is a group of us who meet Tuesday mornings to work from models and the community of fellow artists is important to me. There have been trials and problems along the way but on the whole I think I must have done something right in my former life. Wishing good karma, love, and fulfillment to my fellow earth travelers.
