Of Greek origin with the meaning of "grace", the name of my fine
art and design studio - KARIS - is pronounced KARE-iss. Chosen
in memory of my first endurance horse, a purebred Arabian named
"Karis Conquest", Karis is the perfect name for my art studio as
much of my fine artwork features the most graceful of animals,
the horse.
Drawing horses was my favorite artistic endeavor as a child and
today I still love to draw them. In addition to commissioned and
original artwork of horses, dogs and other subjects, I produce
limited edition fine art prints and note cards from many of my
original drawings.
Please contact
me by calling (540)
292-3941 or email kwaters@karisstudio.com if you are interested in learning more about
my artwork, including my
commission work.
Thank you for visiting. |
