Karen M.
Tremmel
ARTIST - WRITER
An internationally shown and
published artist
and writer:
Karen M. Tremmel was born and raised in the Tennessee Valley at the foot
of Lookout Mountain, surrounded by dramatic scenes of nature and
wildlife, juxtaposed with steel mills, dams, farming and fragments of
the Civil War. In 1968, Karen relocated to Canada where she was
involved with the art and writing community. She lived and worked at
Rochdale, Toronto’s student-run Free University where she taught art.
For over twenty years she spent her time back to nature exploring
natural Canada, the Rockies, the prairies of Alberta, Vancouver Island
and the Canadian Maritimes: researching, painting and writing about her
intimate experiences with wildlife and the natural world.
Karen has illustrated and completed writing her first novel, In Lily
Shadows and has begun to write her second novel. For over eleven years
she has written and illustrated a weekly nature column, Back to Nature
for newspapers in Florida where she continues to paint and teach in her
studio. Karen is involved in her Native American community and spends
her quiet hours designing jewelry and artifacts based on earlier Native
American designs.
“Roots of steel, cornfields, cotton fields, dramatic landscapes,
railroads and water and an intimacy with wildlife are always with me, to
humble me and continue to be the strength of my work.”
