Karen Yee was born into an artistic environment and has always expressed her creativity in different forms. Her foray into the fine arts world came after a cataclysmic event dealing with and surviving cancer in 2003.  This was the impetus that propelled her to explore her long held desire to paint.  With rapid momentum, her paintings have evolved and gained recognition and acclaim in the local art scene.  She has won many awards at juried exhibitions and continues to advance in her art.

 

Ms. Yee lives in El Segundo with her husband and two daughters.  She is a member of the Portrait Society of America, Inc., the  El Segundo Art Association , the California Art Club,   and the Torrance Artists' Guild.
