About Karen Kreyeski: Karen Kreyeski has been an art educator at universities, colleges, and schools in both Storey and Lyon School Districts, as well as the resident artist coordinator in Lyon and Storey School Districts. She was also previously a board member with Comstock Arts Council and the Fourth Ward School and was president of Nevada Arts Educators for many years. Her work has been shown in exhibits and galleries in Vegas, Tahoe, Reno and beyond, and can also be found in many private collections.
Of her work, she writes, “Living in Silver City in a house on a hill for almost 30 years that overlooks the sculptural shapes of the naked mountains between Dayton and Mound House has affected my vision of the western landscape. This influence results in my search for similar forms throughout Nevada and other western states where water is a rarity but distance plentiful and mountainous shapes loom as children.”
