Karen Stewart is a mixed media artist living in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She has a B.A. in Communication and the Arts and a M.S. in Adaptive Education. After 28 years of teaching high school art, she left in 2016 to make her own art, study energy medicine, and travel. Stewart spends her days in gratitude doing the things she loves with the people she loves. 

Karen’s Residency Focus:
Stewart is currently working on a series inspired by Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old holistic healing system originating in India. Ayurveda focuses on balancing the mind, body, and spirit to promote health and prevent illness. Karen has since completed the Whispers on the Wind Shamanic Program at Golden Light Healing in Sobieski, Wisconsin. She is a Level 3 Reiki practitioner, has dabbled in Norse runes and studied animal communication.  She completed an Ayurveda life coaching program in 2025 and continues to practice Transcendental Meditation. She has traveled to Peru to commune with mountain spirits and spent a month in Silent Awareness at the Arteles Center in Finland. As her knowledge of energy medicine has increased, her art and life have gone through a major transformation.
