Hello,

It has been a while. If you were not already aware, I have pivoted my career. Some know me as Karen Bauermeister, the graphic designer. Bella Kruse is how I signed my fine art and the name I used as an art teacher.

I have legally reverted to my maiden name, Kruse, and am now in the healthcare industry.

I went back to school and earned my AS in Health Sciences in the hopes of moving towards an RN. In addition to earning my AS, I became a certified phlebotomist. Currently, I am working for Labcorp and really love it.

Effectively, I am greatly downsizing and have some paintings looking for a good home. Paintings are priced fairly, but I am taking offers. If you have ever wanted to own one of my paintings, now is the time!

Message me if you are interested :)

With every class, I am more and more impressed with how really beautiful everyone's painting turned out! So much fun.

if you missed your chance to paint with us this season, not to worry. I'll be back. Look for our special holiday class in October and Spring Schedule in January😍.
