Karla Dornacher is a self-taught artist, wife, mom, gardener and keeper of her home. She didn’t paint her first picture until she was more than 40 years old and, being a story-teller at heart, says those early pen and ink and watercolor paintings offered the perfect way for her to creatively share the words of love, hope, and encouragement she is so passionate about. Karla lives in Vancouver, WA with her husband of more than 40 years. In her free time she enjoys moments spent with family and friends and always learning something new!
