Born and raised in the Detroit, Michigan area, Caren received her BFA from Siena Heights College in Adrian, MI and after graduation relocated to central Illinois where she met and married her husband. They live with their three children, two horses, three dogs, "way too many" cats, and one little bunny. Sometimes their 20 acres seems a bit crowded.

Caren has been producing works of art for "as long as she can recall," but began painting as a profession in 1998. She considers herself truly blessed to have the occupation and abilities that she possesses, and gives thanks to God alone and to His abounding grace.

The Design Process

No matter the type of project - mural, faux finish, statue restoration or repair, decorative lettering, or hand painted furniture - Caren's initial consultation with a prospective client typically begins with a phone call. During that initial meeting, Caren will focus on determining your wants and needs - even if you only have a very general idea for your project.

Next, Caren will use the information to develop a sketch (or several, depending on the project). She'll work with you to "tweak" the design until you're satisfied. Then, she'll get to work.

Caren does not typically overlap projects, preferring to devote her entire attention to one design at a time. Call Caren at Inside Look Designs to discuss your ideas at 217-649-1391 or click here to send her an e-mail message.
