Caren Garner's Art & Bio
Caren Garner has been painting for over 40 years. She has studied with numerous artists in workshops and classes both in Arkansas and during her stay in Washington DC. Her work is on display in both private and corporate collections around the country including work done for Walter Reed Army Medical Center and a beautiful patriotic mural on the Palliative Care Unit at the John L McClellan VA Medical Center in Little Rock.

A lover of experimentation, Caren does experimental and non-objective work in watercolor, acrylics, mixed media and collage and is currently using numerous textural elements. Other favorite subjects are wildlife, especially African wildlife and she is adept in a variety of work including florals, landscapes, portraits, and abstract/non-objective work. Her goal is to share her passion, energy and love of art in her work.
Caren is a Mother of two children and MiMi of eight grandchildren. She is a retired Craft Care Specialist of Help Hospitalized Veterans and has enjoyed many years of sharing her love of both arts and crafts with our veterans at our VA hospitals in Little Rock, North Little Rock and Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington DC.
