Karen Embry will be forever in my mind, “the bathroom monitor”.
I met Karen when she walked the SURTEX Show a few years ago but we really bonded in 2008 when her booth was right by the ladies room. We’d chat and joke as I’d head in or out and I believe she even threatened to charge me an entrance fee on time…
Karen is a great example of deciding what she wants and doing whatever is necessary to make it happen. She was working full time and building her art licensing business at night… many times into the wee hours of the morning. But she had dream of turning it into a profitable business and has done it! YEAH!
I thoroughly enjoyed being right across from Karen and her husband, Chuck, who does a great job helping her each year at the show. (Thanks again for running to get me lunch too one day!)
Here is Karen’s art licensing story:

Karen, it was so fabulous meeting you at the 2010 Surtex show- This is an awesome story, I’m so glad you were able to share it… many more successes to you!
Thank you for the video. I just did my second quarterly taxes and had an “oh crap. I need to work harder” moment. To learn that it’s not easy for other artists like Karen but it IS possible to be successful was what I needed to hear. Congrats to Karen for making it happen!
We’ve ALL had those moments Aileen! Thanks for sharing!
