July 12: Pop-Up Exhibition of Karen’s Large-Scale Paintings. During the Ojai Studio Artists Mini-Tour for July, Karen will turn her studio property into a sprawling outdoor exhibition space to display large-scale paintings that could not fit into her concurrent, career-retrospective solo show at the Ojai Valley Museum. At the same time, smaller-scale paintings and prints will be displayed inside her Art Barn studio (515 Foothill Rd.), where Karen will host her visitors on Saturday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. as part of the Arbolada neighborhood mini-tour.

The annual Ojai Studio Artists Open Studio Tour for 2025 is set for Oct. 11-13, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Karen will be hosting visitors at her ArtBarn studio, 515 Foothill Rd., Ojai.
