Karen Katonah

Initially, I studied under portrait artist Iroka Adachi Redman of Garden City, NY. I continued studying in college and graduated with a minor in fine art from Adelphi University. Over the years, my portraits have been selected for several local juried art shows in Florida and my oil paintings hang in several South Florida homes, as well as Hilton Head, SC, Pennsylvania, and Savannah, Ga. Currently, I have an Art Studio at 4950 Communications Ave., suite 150, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.

In 2021, I started concentrating on photography. In 2022, I was a finalist in the South Florida Wildlife Photo contest and a third place winner in the Mounts Botanical Gardens Photo contest. In 2023, I won first place in the Mounts Botanical Gardens Photo contest for Garden Sculpture category and third place for Insect Close-up category. Recently, I was honored to be one of fifteen artists selected to display their art work at the Palm Beach International Airport’s “Bloom Where You Are Planted ” exhibit which runs May 22 through October 30, 2024. I am also an active member of the Boca Raton Camera Club and have received over 30 evaluations of 9 out of 9 for my photography entries over the past two years.
