Hey Diddle Diddle, the Quail and the Fiddle, the Roadrunner Jumped Over the Setting Sun - Watercolor by Karen Muench

The Silver City Museum Society will host a trunk show for local artist Karen Muench on Saturday, December 15, 2012, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Museum.  The Silver City Museum is located at 312 W. Broadway.

The Silver City Museum Store is excited to offer all of Ms. Muench’s work, including prints, cards and postcards.  These items will be for sale on this day only, with a percentage of the sales going to the Silver City Museum Society.  The Museum Store regularly sells her cards, but does not have the space to display her wonderful prints.

Karen Muench states, “I like to create brightly colored whimsical southwestern scenes. Imaginative tortugas appear in my art as well because of a recent close encounter with sea turtles while snorkeling in the Galapagos Islands. A favorite quote by Albert Einstein, ‘imagination is more important than knowledge,’ continues to inspire my work. I like to bring joy to viewers by developing interesting, unusual juxtapositions. Painting nourishes my creative spirit. I would feel lost without it”.

The Silver City Museum creates opportunities for residents and visitors to explore, understand and celebrate the rich and diverse cultural heritage of southwestern New Mexico by collecting, preserving, researching and interpreting the region's unique history.
