Karen

Gift Caricatures

Karen began her portrait and caricature career at Disneyland in 1965. After 21 years of drawing faces at local fairs and events, she met famous caricature artist “Pancho” Willmarth, who drew faces at the Brown Derby during Hollywood’s heyday. Pancho showed Karen the ropes of the caricature profession and now she’s branched out into the higher realms of this field. Her MAD magazine style depictions of her clients take as little as three to five minutes for a profile and 10 minutes for a front view. Karen not only does her “quick-draws” at corporate affairs and private parties, she also does “high-class” portraits for commemorative occasions and for special and unusual gifts.
