We were musing about a space where we could display the creative efforts of our studios with features from our artist family and community. On the shore of a lake in New England of what was my family’s home where we now have our studios, sits a large rock just a few feet offshore. While we were casting about for a name for our new gallery, we discovered that one of the Finnish words for rock is kari. Robert suggested we name the gallery after it since it has the connection with my heritage, and the rock is situated quite near the wood-burning sauna that still stands on the property. So Kari Gallery it is.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, and is often surprising. As a family of artists and creators, we are involved in all sorts of projects. Photography, drawing, sculpture, painting, prints, art to wear, art to admire, artful usefulness, art for living - if it can be imagined, we’re creating it or searching for a way to express it.

With this site, we welcome you to an online gallery of imaginings. We hope you will find something that will speak to you or that you feel will speak to a special person in your life.
