About Caren
Caren is a self taught artist. She has been drawing for as long as she can remember and as a child growing up in a small town in Michigan she spent many hours drawing the animals and sights around her. From the tall forest to the beaches there was always something interesting for her to draw.
Her girlhood was shaped by playing outside with her animals, from adventures in the woods and horse pastures to going to the beach during the summer and laying on the foot of her bed doing her art. "I really believe I was born loving animals," she says. She remembers from cats and dogs to rabbits and of corse her most favorite horses. She started drawing animals when she was five years old "I remember when my mother saw my first horse drawings she said "It's not nice to say you drew something when you traced it dear" I was so determined to show her I hadn't traced it I went back and did the same horse only larger this time. My mother was shocked and apologized for having thought I had traced it."
"There were many times I would get in trouble in school because I was day dreaming at the horses in the field outside the school window or drawing instead of paying attention to the teacher."
Caren moved to Texas in the early 80's where she married and raised two children.
