Coffee Creations by Karen Eland
Talented American artist Karen Eland has been drawing since childhood. Besides, according to her, at age 14 she became seriously interested in an art career. In particular, her love for fine coffee began in the late Kaldi’s Coffeehouse in New Orleans. She used to go there everyday to sketch her fellow French Quarter locals while sipping a black coffee with a dash of nutmeg on top. Besides, after moving back home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, she got introduced to the joys of top-quality espresso at Nordaggio’s Coffee. And finally, the link between coffee and art connected when she began painting with it in 1998. Undoubtedly, Coffee art is a unique art form. It requires a thoughtful and delicate touch. Capturing the depth of old masters’ works is only possible through a slow and sophisticated process of building layers upon layers of espresso.
