Ada photographer Karen Ward: You'll find her work featured at Gallery for the Arts

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, March 2, 2016

This is the first in a series on Ada artists and artisans showing original works for sale at Gallery for the Arts, 115 S. Main St., Ada.

Featured artist Karen Ward, photographer

Ward, a 25-year Ada resident, is a photographer. Several of her photographs are available at the gallery. These include cards, framed photos and 8-by-10 inch unframed photos.

She describes her photography this way:

“I’d photograph more people if I could capture their innocence and not their posed portrait. But, to do so would be sort of sneaky and that isn’t very acceptable this day and age.
