Coffee Art with Humor - Karen Eland

I tend to enjoy a good sense of humor. Combine that with good artwork and you have a winning combination. I came across Karen Eland’s site http://www.coffee-art.com about six months ago and immediately smiled. Karen’s work is both skillful and very unassuming. Some day I will purchase one of her originals.

Karen paints reproductions of classic paintings such as the Mona Lisa and American Gothic but with a coffee twist transforming them into Mona Latte and Americano Gothic. She is a self-taught artist with plenty of talent and apparently some marketing savvy from the looks of her web site.

The style that Karen uses is different than mine and produces a wonderfully layered and toned image. You should definitely check out her work.

In 2006 I would like to contact each of the artists that I mention in this blog and put together a colossal coffee artist show. I hope that they are receptive to this idea. Time will tell. I’ll post contacts and results here when they come in. I will also post information on this mythical show on my web site http://www.nosuchanimal.net.
