In June 2008, with the support of her husband Dan, Kara once again decided to embark on yet another journey and resigned from teaching to pursue her own artistic endeavors. "While my style and skills are ever-evolving, my interest in finding the beauty in everyday objects and places, as well as a drive to improve my techniques stays constant. In the midst of this journey I hope that my paintings will bring people the same joy that I have had in creating them. Thank you for taking the time to look."
