INSTRUCTORS: Karen Berstler, Nicole Sexton

BERSTLER, KAREN — Has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember. Fascinated with people, their personal stories and what makes us all tick as human beings. Loves creating paintings that are both fun and meaningful, sharing them with the world and, hopefully, leaving the space she has occupied a bit more beautiful than it was before she arrived.
