In thinking about what is key to Karen, it’s in unlocking the door and entering her world which can refer to anything - people, projects, art traits or even Astronauts. I’ve been fortunate enough to have met Karen, and she is one of the most diligent and enthusiastic photographers. Her Twitter feed @KJerzykPhoto showcases her impressive collection of works. My friend Kilsy Pix introduced me to Karen, and I had an amazing conversation with her on an Artist Spotlight show about her collection in 2021. After the interview, I had an instant lady crush on Karen! As a SearchLight Curator, watching her grow has been a pleasure; admiring her work as an artist is very easy to do. She is passionate about making statements for women, by women and about women in Web3. I love everything she does: how she creates and who she is.
