It’s Hip to Be Square!

Artist: Karen Wagaman — Tail Wags Art

This is the theme that makes artist Karen Wagaman HAPPY! For whatever reason, SQUARE is her favorite format for making and buying art! She is a watercolor, digital and mixed media artist. She has worked in watercolor and graphic design since earning her degree in studio art and business. Her dual love for animals and painting evolved into a fun hobby creating custom pet portraits. And now living in Arkansas of course she is a fan of calling and designing hogs.

In addition to creating her own art, she is a promoter of the creative economy in NW Arkansas. She serves as VP of Downtown Development for the Rogers Lowell Chamber and has the opportunity to interact with creative business owners and artists and makers from throughout the region.

She is co-founded Downtown Rogers Art on the Bricks Art Walk, a monthly event that showcases the visual and performing arts of regional artists while providing artistic and cultural opportunities in Downtown Rogers.

Wagaman is also a co-founder and member of the Board of Directors for the
Rogers Experimental House, a creative community art space where artists create, teach and exhibit visual and performing art. Studio, classroom and exhibit space is available for rent by the hour or by the month.
