Ottenbreit's polymer portal series
Ottenbreit's polymer fish

Alaskans Karen Ottenbreit and Katie Way brought a northern exposure to Synergy. While I can’t find a proper link to Katie online, I did catch a few of Karen’s sea creatures in the gallery.

Her series of portal pins and pendants tickled me. Karen’s story of how a sassy girl from the south side of Chicago makes good in Eagle River, AK will make you understand why her fish laugh.

              I am so happy to wake up this morning and find my friend Karen on PCD. I knew it was only a matter of time! Karen is the most creative person I have ever met and works harder then any other artist I know.
