Karlene VanDeusen

I'm primarily a Pastel artist. Woods and Water inspire my expressive representations of Pastoral Landscapes in Pastel, Watercolor, Gouache, Oil or Acrylic. I usually start outdoors & finish in my studio. I paint the rural countryside and try to suggest a mood of contentment. My degree is in Graphic Design, from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I worked many years as a Layout Artist in retail at Sibleys. I've also worked as a Layout Artist at Ruby Gordon Furniture, staff paste-up artist with PennySaver Publications, and an Exhibit Designer with Rochester Museum & Science Center. Nowadays I'm semi-retired, still Substitute teaching once or twice a week.
