Karen Busch Holman was born in Montreal, Canada, but her family soon moved to the New England area. She began lessons in painting at age 10 and has continued to share her love of art as a member of the New Hampshire Art Association, where she teaches classes. She founded an Interior Architecture firm in New York City and New Jersey in the 1980s, until she “gave it all up” in 1990 to focus on her career in art through graphic design. She lives in Salisbury, NH, with her family and recently received a watercolor commission to design the poster celebrating the 100-year anniversary of 4-H in the state.
