Joseph

“Caren has captured my life and memories as an honest Irish lawyer…. who loves his lady, his little dog and the 49’ers. I was once dealt this straight flush in a friendly game of poker, artfully being held by the carved wooden hand which I made while camping with my son. Caren’s unique assemblage celebrates my 40 years as a criminal defense attorney and my passions in life!” – Joe

Michele

“Caren and I worked on a personalized piece and it was a great experience. The hunt for little trinkets pertaining to my life was fun and the experience incredible. I absolutely love the way my piece turned out, as it is me and art that I will treasure always. Caren has a great eye for putting things in the right place, adding little touches and know I will be working with Caren to commission her to do some pieces for the special people in my life.” – Michele

Nancy

As an accomplished designer, I utilized her fabric design as background and to convey Nancy’s elegant, jet setting lifestyle.

Special Occasions

Jonathan

“I commissioned Caren to create an assemblage piece to capture my 9 year old son’s early childhood and preserve his cherished memories and memorabilia. The proof of Caren’s genius was when I showed my son the finished piece and his eyes lit up. I knew that we would have a treasured family heirloom for decades to come. PLUS…….Caren is fun and easy to work with!!” – Michael

Goodnight Irene

I created this piece for my mother Irene shortly after she passed away. My desire was to celebrate her unique life and capture a sense of who she was, what she liked, what she wore and the legacy of how she lived. In this way, her spirit is visible to me everyday in my home.

Childhood Memories

This is the memory of my childhood, happily engrossed in imaginary play with our family dog by my side.
