KAREN WILLENBRINK-JOHNSEN After receiving her degree in Fine Arts from Ohio University, began gardening and bird watching in the Catskill Mountain region of New York, while apprenticing in the small production studio of Louis Sclafani. It soon became evident to her that her zeal for glass and love of nature would form an incredible kinship. Karen’s work has been exhibited throughout the US and in New Zealand and Sweden. Her work has also been exhibited at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, the Jenkin Johnson Gallery in San Francisco, and the Gardens at the Chapell Gallery in Boston. Karen is currently a member of the William Morris Glassblowing team in Stanwood, WA, and is frequently featured artist at glass training workshops. Karen was the featured artist at the Eugene Glass School’s 6th Annual Auction & Benefit Dinner.
