  Loving my body whole and nude by Artist Karen Colville  My dream since childhood was to be a Visual Artist and I have been living this dream out for over a decade, I see beauty in nature. I started viewing myself as a whole natural person and I do not fit the status quo yet again.  I had to do a lot of side gigs to even create , market, sell any art. A lot of my art was used for humane purposes and human causes over the years, where I did not even make any money, the money went to helping the person or organization in need . Being and staying in the arts, has challenges. Nudity can be productive and full of purpose to wholeness with body image, healing and self love, the entire person. My nude work or semi nude , viewed as art, is published as part of my artistic journey in various stages of life, an art form as body acceptance and expression along with my attempts to model and for self expression in the arts. I wanted to enjoy taking off my clothes. Seei...

Digital Sexual Identities in the Modern Age

  Digital Sexual Identities in the modern age by Karen Colville I have struggled with making Art for many reasons,  it is a part of being an Artist. I have achieved success in a number of capacities when it comes to image making. I have done very little in the realm of digital art.  I had no interest in erotic art.  I found the world immoral, corrupted and disgusting enough.  There were very few safe havens. Why add to it? Now it is worse, more crime, corruption and digital criminals. Over the years, I learned to love and accept  my body. I learned to live on a budget.  Being an Artist, there are good times and lean times. For many years, I never showed myself in a sexual manner. I dressed modest not sexy. About a decade ago , I worked with a photographer.  He helped me with my art portfolio, photos of my art. Since I had some legitimate  experience as a Model, I started doing fully clothed,  semi nude work to give him practice in buil...

  Prints as an art investment by Karen Colville There are art buyers that buy limited editions because they are worth more. Is it feasible? This is my opinion in what I have learned being in both private and public art for over a decade.

It took time to build my presence selling original art works with prints. I have licensed my art also. People or business that buy original art as an asset. is an investment they hang on to for a long time, after a few years, they can grow tired of having the art in their home, they can sell it at Auction to set the reserve, past the price  more than what they paid for it.
