    Karen Pierce Gonzalez’s assemblage art is a kinetic conversation with natural and found materials that follows the grain of tree bark, strands of textile, and waves of color.

    At home in the San Francisco Bay Area, she was National Arts Program’s July 2022 Featured Artist. Her creations have appeared in Feral: A Poetry and Art Journal, and have been shown at several galleries, including Truckenbrod Gallery, Tiny Kiosks, Finley Person Center, Santa Rosa Arts Center, and Sebastopol Arts Center.
