Karen Bilak is a fabric artist creating small quilts that are framed behind glass. These are handmade pieces that are expertly crafted and just beautiful to look at. I’ve watched Karen work, as you can at any show she exhibits at, and she is meticulous! The quilts have great character and traditional style. Donna and I have purchased two of Karen’s works, one for ourselves and one as a gift. We enjoy having traditional art in our home and knowing Karen made it makes it that much better.
I’ve known Karen’s husband Mark for years. He’s a fine photographer whose work I really enjoy as well. Karen started doing fine craft shows about the same time that I began making photography my full-time profession. We are both juried members of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. As a result we do several of the same shows and so I get to see Karen, and Mark, a lot more often. That’s one of the benefits of this kind of work.
