Born in Los Angeles, Karyn Raz graduated from Brown University and the illustration program at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. As a young girl, she spent time in her mother’s art studio. “I have a very strong memory of her helping me sculpt the digestive system for the fifth grade science fair, which included Cap’n Crunch Berries glued into the esophagus in a meticulous pattern.” On family vacations, Karyn would make color pencil renderings of Elle models and watch her mom paint. “She made it seem fun and relaxing.” As an adult, Karyn seeks that same feeling of joy and child-like exploration in her own work. She creates observed and imagined worlds with a blend of honesty and humor, and is inspired by folk art, tarot cards,daydreams, and her own Uruguayan-Israeli family.
