Karen Margulis
Pastelist and instructor Karen Margulis, who lives in Georgia, did a lot of traveling last year, visiting friends and family, participating in workshops as a student and as a teacher. The painting above is a 5"x7" done on location in Iceland while attending a Stan Sperlak workshop, and the one below, which is 8"x10", is from a Richard McKinley workshop in Abiquiu, New Mexico. 
"I have been asked why I choose to go to workshops. I am a teacher why do I still need to go? I go because I am also a student. I want to continue to grow and stretch myself. I want to learn from others and allow it to all trickle down until it becomes part of me. I also meet the most wonderful artists in a workshop. I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything!" 
Her website has a page for classes, and her blog has a list of digital lesson downloads and YouTube videos.
