Karin E. Hoffman - "Kaelho" - is a self-taught artist from the Pacific NW. She is a wife and mother of two little ones. Her main medium is acrylics on canvas.
"It's in my blood," she says. "My maternal grandmother and uncle were both artists; my paternal great-uncles were clock makers... I got the creativity genes!"

"As a child, I often would would draw on car rides until I was carsick and miss watching my television shows because I was drawing while they were on! Through college I drew and doodled all throughout my classes - don't tell my professors!"
