Karen Kimmel

I found Karen Kimmel’s work (via here) and I was really interested in her collaboration with Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, which serves artists with physical, mental and developmental disabilities. During a series of workshops, the group created over 200 drawings with various stencils. Several of these were selected to be transformed into hooked rugs, at which point the rugs were sent to Kimmel and upholstered onto wooden bases.
