Karen Larson-Voltz  received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  Her artistic practice is invested in photography, collage, and book arts. She uses these forms to investigate the dialectics of beholding, the translation between experience and memory, and the ways people interpret public and private spaces.  Karen has exhibited nationally and internationally in venues such as: Pingyao International Photography Festival, Pingyao, China, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Novato, CA, and in Power Plant Gallery at Duke University, Durham, NC. Her work is in the permanent collection of The Joan Flasch Artist Book Collection at SAIC in Chicago, IL, and the NES Residencies collection, Skagastrond, Iceland.
