Painter
and photographer Karen J. Lloyd of Nature Heart Studio grew up inspired by the
vibrant arts community in her hometown, Mystic, Connecticut.
Amidst
the challenges of chronic Lyme disease, Lloyd explains, “I continue to explore
the realm of natural aesthetics, embracing whimsical beauty in art with the
hope of evoking an emotional thread to our natural surroundings: the animals
and landscapes increasingly overlooked in our fast-paced, human-oriented
society.”
