About Karen Rankin
I am a professional Yacht Captain and sailed the world for almost 30 years.   I had always been an avid photographer , but had never picked up a paint brush until  2014 when I retired. Not knowing where to start, I turned to YouTube where I found the fundamentals to get started. There are so many wonderful artists who love to share their passion and that led me to another creative adventure, videoing my own paintings to share on YouTube.  I continue to learn and challenge myself with new mediums and techniques.  I invite you to share my adventures in this wonderful world of Art.
